All day long, the right-wing Members of the House Freedom Caucus have been complaining on social media, podcasts, and television about Speaker Johnson and House Republican leadership’s compromise with Democrats on a “minibus” budget proposal.
The griping started early, as most complained that it was released at 2:00 AM this morning and is being brought to the floor for a vote tomorrow. Johnson pledged that no bill would be voted on until 72 hours after it was released to the Members, and this would violate that pledge.
After Freedom Caucus members has a chance to start to read the bill, things have gotten progressively hotter for Johnson, leading to the entire group to release a brief statement this afternoon criticizing Johnson and the deal, and calling a press conference for tomorrow morning before the bill is voted on.
