'I'm not done talking!' Far-right GOP rep heckled as she blames Dems for shutdown threat
Raw StoryHouse Republicans are scrambling to prevent a government shutdown after tech billionaire Elon Musk forced them to scrap a bipartisan continuing resolution with primary challenge threats, and the GOP hastily cobbled together a partisan package to replace it, only to have key Republican members defect anyway. But far-right Rep. Anna Paulina Luna tried to argue in a Thursday evening speech on the House floor that the shutdown is Democrats' fault. Her speech got off to a rocky start when she opened by effusing praise for President-elect Donald Trump, who took Musk's side to blow up the bipartisan spending agreement, and demanded order as Democrats heckled her. She then tried to explain how Democrats were at fault for a looming shutdown even after Republicans rejected a bipartisan bill and struggled to secure enough votes from their own caucus to pass an all-Republican replacement for the bill they rejected.
