The radical leftists in the Senate are responsible for the government shutdown. Republican leadership offered Democrats SEVEN WEEKS of clean funding to negotiate while the government stayed open. Democrats said no.

Multiple sources confirm that Senate Democrats blocked Republican efforts to pass stopgap funding bills that would have reopened the government, often citing demands for changes related to ObamaCare subsidies or other policy issues.pbs.orgpbs.orgWATCH: Democrats reject GOP funding bill, setting up government shutdown However, the negotiations were characterized by stalemate and mutual refusal to compromise.

There is no direct evidence in the sources that Republicans offered a clean funding bill covering seven weeks without conditions. Instead, the GOP bills were often described as containing policy riders or cuts that Democrats found unacceptable.

Additionally, some reports highlight Republican disarray and internal disagreements during the shutdown.politico.compolitico.comRepublicans are in disarray one week into the shutdown Thus, attributing sole responsibility to 'radical leftists' in the Senate and framing the offer as a clean seven-week funding extension rejected by Democrats oversimplifies and distorts the complex bipartisan impasse documented in multiple independent sources.
