House Republicans Fume at Speaker Mike Johnson

“House Republicans are fuming at Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) handling of an end-of-year measure to extend government funding until March, saying it is more like a sprawling omnibus — which they abhor — than a simple temporary funding measure,” The Hill reports.

Said Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO): “It’s a total dumpster fire, I think it’s garbage. This is what Washington, D.C., has done. This is why I ran for Congress, to try to stop this. And sadly, this is happening again.”

Added Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX): “We get this negotiated crap and we’re forced to eat this crap sandwich. Why? Because freaking Christmas is right around the corner. It’s the same dang thing every year. Legislate by crisis, legislate by calendar. Not legislate because it’s the right thing to do.”
