Bowman stated a government shutdown will probably happen because of House Republicans’ “incompetence and dysfunction.”

A federal government shutdown is quickly approaching and could be catastrophic for Black and brown Americans if Congress fails to act soon.

TheGrio’s Capitol Hill Correspondent Ashlee Banks spoke with Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, D-Ga. about the shutdown on Thursday. Greene blamed the Democrats for the temporary shutdown that could come if Congress does not reach an agreement before Oct. 1.
