Roger Marshall scolded NewsNation’s Leland Vittert for not being a "better journalist" during the heated exchange.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) wasn’t having it with NewsNation’s Leland Vittert after the anchor pressed him on live TV over the GOP’s handling of the ongoing government shutdown. (You can watch the tense exchange below.)
Vittert — on Wednesday’s edition of NewsNation’s “On Balance” — asked the MAGA senator how much longer Americans are “going to suffer” before pointing to Americans facing reductions and delays to their SNAP benefits as well as an expected 10% reduction of air traffic at 40 U.S. airports due to the shutdown.
He went on to note that Republicans control the House, Senate and the White House before quoting President Donald Trump who — following Democrats’ sweep of key election races — described the shutdown as a “negative” for the GOP and a “big factor” in the party’s losses.
“How long can you afford this PR crisis?” Vittert asked.
