Far-right lawmaker kneecapped by Trump gives final parting shot on his way out the door

Raw Story  

A far-right lawmaker whose tenure in Congress ended following a public feud with President-elect Donald Trump gave one last parting shot at the incoming president as he headed out the door.

Already some other GOP lawmakers — typically those who reject continuing resolutions on principle without a long-term budget they support — have vowed to vote against it, including Rep. Chip Roy, whom Trump threatened with a primary challenge earlier in the day. Congress was thrown into chaos this week after Trump's close associate and campaign benefactor, tech billionaire Elon Musk, came out against the bipartisan deal agreed to on keeping the government open, turning a number of Republicans against it and upending the whole deal.
