‘That Was You Three Times’: CNN’s John Berman Confronts Chuck Schumer For Previously Opposing Government ShutdownsDaily Caller ^ | 10/01/2025 | Nicole SilverioPosted on by DFGCNN host John Berman confronted Senator Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday for previously opposing government shutdowns. Along with most Democrats, Schumer voted to shut the government down since the Republican-led stopgap bill did not include an extension of enhanced tax credits in the Affordable Care Act. “That was in March, John, before they had done these horrible things to healthcare. And the bottomline is, when I was majority leader, we had 13 times to vote on a budget. A government shutdown means seniors who rely on Social Security could be thrown into chaos,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.
