Anonymous Coward User ID: 36547891 United States 05/31/2023 12:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A civil war is brewing within the republican party as they say Kevin McCarthy has caved to Bidens will, back door deal with liberals!! [ link to amp.theguardian.com (secure)] Members of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus have attacked the proposed spending cuts in the debt ceiling bill as woefully inadequate, and vowed to oppose the legislation when it hits the floor. “We had the time to act, and this deal fails – fails completely,” Representative Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, chair of the Freedom Caucus, said on Tuesday. “We will do everything in our power to stop it and end it now.” The House is expected to hold a final vote on the bill on Wednesday, while other members of the Freedom Caucus continue to denounce the compromise brokered by the Republican speaker, Kevin McCarthy, and President Joe Biden over the weekend. The compromise bill, formally named the Fiscal Responsibility Act, would suspend the debt ceiling until 2025, allowing the US to avoid a default that could reap devastating consequences on the American economy. The treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, has warned that the federal government will be unable to pay its bills starting on 5 June unless Congress takes action. Republicans on the House rules committee voted late on Tuesday to advance the bill, clearing the way for a final vote on Wednesday. During that hearing, two Freedom Caucus members who sit on the panel, Chip Roy of Texas and Ralph Norman of South Carolina, attempted to block the legislation from advancing, but they were outnumbered by their colleagues. The final vote in the rules committee was 7-6 to advance the bill, with four Democrats joining Roy and Norman in opposing the measure.Despite reassurances from McCarthy and his allies, it remains unclear how many House Republicans will support the proposal. In addition to the Freedom Caucus, some of the more centrist members of the House Republican conference like representatives Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Wesley Hunt of Texas said they would vote against the bill. Dan Bishop of North Carolina, a member of the Freedom Caucus, predicted that most of the House Republican conference would oppose the legislation, forcing McCarthy to rely on Democrats to pass the bill. |

If they had any balls they'd still be voting on speaker and they would've just kept the house shutdown for 2years doing it.
Instead they caved on McCarthy and now this is what they get.
A GOP rep resigned today so now the majority is at 4. All McCarthy needs is 3 other reps to vote with him and the deal is done.
In the end the GOP controlled house meant absolutely fuckall.
But be sure to vote in 2024! |
