This lies on their feet as well

On Morning Joe, NY Governor Kathy Hochul was talking about the Republican majority House not getting anything done and this quote was in reference to Republican intransigence on immigration issues. It is a congruent conflation of “lay (something) at (one’s) feet” and “on (one’s) shoulders)”, both meaning to hold someone responsible for something. A shout out to David Stephens who heard this one and sent it in.
