Despite being a group of people eager to portray the government shutdown as Republicans’ fault, the late night comedians used their Monday shows to attack Senate Democrats for finally realizing they had no leverage and ending the shutdown.
...
Over on ABC, Jimmy Kimmel claimed, “Democrats refused to sign on to a bill that would force millions of Americans off of their health care and make it much more expensive for those who can afford it. So, Democrats drew a line in the sand. They said we are not going over this. And today, after 41 days, they pulled out a shovel and a bucket and they ate all that sand. And got nothing for it. Isn't that great? You know what they got? They got a promise from the Republicans in the Senate to hold a vote on health care sometime in the future.”
Turning his ire to Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Kimmel huffed, “I mean, at his age, it's incredible at his age that Chuck Schumer is still able to bend over so far. Chuck Schumer is basically every parent who tells their kid "No more iPad. That's it." The next thing you know, he's playing Roblox at the dinner table. This was such a big cave, by the Democrats, Bruce Wayne offered to buy it.”
