'Raucous caucus': Mike Johnson's new actions said to show 'inherent weakness of the GOP'

Raw Story  

A Democratic lawmaker slammed House speaker Mike Johnson for losing control of his Republican majority and risking a government shutdown. "So we've got to get back to getting the government funded, and we got to make sure that the American people get their paychecks, that, you know, there's access to food assistance, that all the things that we know are vital government services continue through the holidays and to hold the American people hostage right before the holidays is unconscionable." We're going to keep showing up, we're going to keep fighting for the American people, and we're going to make sure that we get something substantive done, and we're going to hold the line." Democrats have signaled they're not willing to support what Trump calls a "streamlined" spending deal that would remove billions of dollars that House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries had already negotiated with Johnson, but Stansbury said that Republicans couldn't stand up to their billionaire benefactors. "Our leadership has literally been in the trenches for days and weeks, holding them to account, and so we're going to continue to hold the line to make sure that the Republicans who are responsible for the House floor procedures over the coming days, do the right thing for the American people," Stansbury said.
