Freedom Caucus Rebels Over Bill To Avert Shutdown: “It’s A Dumpster Fire, It’s Garbage, A Crap Sandwich”

House Republicans are fuming at Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) handling of an end-of-year measure to extend government funding until March, saying it is more like a sprawling omnibus — which they abhor — than a simple temporary funding measure.

“It’s not a CR, which is a continuation of the budget. It’s turning into an omnibus,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said. “We get this negotiated crap and we’re forced to eat this crap sandwich,” echoed Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas).

“It’s a total dumpster fire, I think it’s garbage,” said Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. “This is what Washington, D.C., has done. This is why I ran for Congress, to try to stop this. And sadly, this is happening again.”
