Dems, facing shutdown, previously criticized Republicans for 'political games' during gov funding fights
Fox News
Democratic Senators are on the brink of allowing the government to shut down after Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., spent years criticizing Republicans for their opposition to funding bills.
The House passed a continuing resolution (CR) this week to keep the government open until October, but Democratic Senators are holding up the legislation to advocate for a "clean" month-long stopgap bill. Schumer said on Wednesday that Republicans "do not have the votes" to pass the House version of the bill - putting the government at risk as the Friday funding deadline looms.

While Democrats are on the brink of allowing the government to shut down this week, their past comments reveal they have criticized Republicans over the same issue.
