Having been pushed aside by Speaker pro tem Kevin McCarthy who showed that he’d rather side with Democrats than their juvenile lot, the House Freedom Caucus on Monday released a set up demands it insists must be met if Republicans in the House are to pass another funding bill, NBC News reports.
The nihilists demanding attention said in a statement any future funding bill must have their language on border security; it must include a plan to “de-weaponize” the Justice Department without mentioning any effort to defend the Jorder-Comer politicization fantasies and lies coming from their committee hearings; and changes in Pentagon policies, although they did not list what they wanted except to say “end… cancerous woke policies in the Pentagon.” Of course, they cannot define what a “woke policy” is.
While Speaker pro tem McCarthy cowered from making a statement, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries not hesitate to call out the foot-stomping far-right radicals: “House Republicans are determined to shutdown the government and crash our economy. We will fight these MAGA extremists every step of the way.”
