‘Shameful’: Republican doesn't hold back after Mike Johnson makes government funding deal

Raw Story  

MAGA U.S. Rep. Eric Burlison is blasting Mike Johnson over the speaker's bipartisan legislation to keep the government running past the Friday midnight deadline and through the middle of March — calling it a "total dumpster fire" and "garbage." Asked about the continuing resolution, which includes $100 billion in disaster relief for areas hit hard by hurricanes Helene and Milton, Congressman Burlison declared, "it's a total dumpster fire." "I think that it's shameful that people that celebrate DOGE coming in, and yet we're gonna vote for another billion dollars to be added to the deficit," Burlison added, referring to the new "Department of Government Efficiency," which is not an actual federal government agency. "I expect more from from my Speaker, to be the conservative that I thought that he was, but instead, we're gonna push through, um, you know, a hundreds of billion dollar package that's gonna add more debt to the to the to our debt, our deficit to our debt, and it's and we're gonna you know, continue this reckless process — look, we we complained about Nancy Pelosi dropping thousands of pages of an omnibus bill before Christmas.
