Rep. Foxx may not feel guilty, but she undoubtedly knows that a lot of Americans, no doubt including many of her constituents are upset about the shutdown, along with a lot of other things, from the price of eggs to the armed ICE goons that are beating people up and dragging them off to jail for the "crimes" of having brown skin or speaking Spanish in public. And she DID just have an 8 week paid vacation. She's mad because she'd rather not be reminded that voters have lots of reasons to be mad at her right now.
