The continuing resolution was filed on Saturday, he added, but "they had already come out panning the bill that literally had not yet been seen."
Johnson said that the Democrats accused Republicans of introducing a CR that threatens to cut funding for healthcare, food assistance programs and veterans' benefits until the end of the year.
"Every single word of that is a lie," he said. "They just made it up. They didn't read the bill. It's nonsense. People are not buying this."
Johnson added that the "clean CR" does not contain any "poison pill riders."
"No cuts to Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security," he insisted. "Zero. No cuts to veterans benefits. Zero. In fact, as was noted, we plus up the accounts for veterans."
