Trump and Vance bemoan Dem 'giveaways' in funding bill — and beg GOP to call their 'bluff'

Raw Story  

President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming vice president bemoaned "democrat giveaways" on Wednesday in trying to explain why they helped torpedo a stopgap funding bill that would avert a government shutdown just before the holidays. But Trump and key ally Elon Musk came out against House Speaker Mike Johnson's funding bill on Wednesday, throwing the entire process into chaos two days before the deadline. "The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee—which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day," said Trump and Vance. Trump and Vance called on Republicans to "get smart and tough," and pass a "streamlined" spending bill that "doesn’t give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want."
