Left-wing radio host Charlamagne tha God admitted on Monday that Democrats are losing the messaging battle over the ongoing Schumer Shutdown.

“I read a poll this morning that said, you know, a lot of Americans are starting to blame Democrats for the government shutdown,” Charlamagne said to MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on her podcast, “The Best People.”

“And it’s just simply because Republicans are better at messaging than Democrats will ever be,” he added.

“I can’t believe Democrats still haven’t figured out how to message,” Charlamagne continued. “But right now, at a time when American people are hurting, and they can point directly to the Trump administration to say, earlier in the year, it was DOGE cutting all the federal jobs. Now they are in charge of every branch of government, and it’s the government shutdown and all of y’all are losing jobs.”

The Schumer Shutdown has entered its third week, making it the third-longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

To date, it has cost American taxpayers more than $8 billion.

Democrats have refused to negotiate on a temporary funding bill, insisting that expanded Obamacare benefits must be secured before reopening the government.

Those expanded subsidies would allow states to fund healthcare coverage for illegal immigrants.

“Republicans have beat it in people’s head that it’s Democrats’ fault, and Democrats are taking credit for it,” Charlamagne said.

“They’re saying, ‘No, yeah, we are the reason the government is shut down, but we’re doing it because we didn’t want your healthcare prices to get jacked up.’ So they’re taking a stand, but it’s hurting a whole lot of other people while this stand is being took,” he continued.

Charlamagne also criticized MSNBC, accusing the network of dismissing legitimate voter concerns about the southern border.

“You know, you can’t just ignore people’s criticisms of the border and chalk it up to MAGA messaging,” he said. “I’ll never forget when MSNBC did that to me. And MSNBC did that to me based off me listening to people, me listening to people in New York City, listening to people in Chicago, activists in Chicago, and them telling me what their issues with the border were.”

WATCH:

Late last week, the Senate voted against reopening the federal government for the 13th time, extending the shutdown.

The stalemate follows the “No Kings” rallies held in Washington and cities across the country, where Republicans expressed optimism that a breakthrough could be near.

However, there are few signs of progress, with analysts warning the shutdown could extend into a fourth week and possibly November.

In remarks on the Senate floor Monday, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said the Democratic position “remains the same.”

Republicans have said no negotiations will occur until the government is funded and operating.

“It is truly amazing how a program Democrats created and tax credits that they chose to sunset have now become the Republicans’ crisis,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said.

“Democrats created ObamaCare — alone. They implemented the enhanced tax credits — alone. And they chose a sunset date for those tax credits — alone,” Thune continued. “Democrats are solely — solely — responsible for the ObamaCare tax credit cliff, and yet they’re trying to pin this disaster on Republicans while at the very same time they’re asking Republicans to bail them out.”

“It’s really kind of ironic,” Thune added when talking to reporters about the current situation and what he expects to happen next.
