Internet joins Marjorie Taylor Greene in slamming House Republicans for assenting to the 'minibus' bill

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called out fellow members of House GOP on X (formerly Twitter) for supporting the bipartisan 'minibus' spending bill which was passed on March 6 to avoid a partial government shutdown over the weekend.

The $467.5 billion package is intended to see through the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Transportation, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development and Justice, as well as military construction, to the end of September, keeping funding levels roughly the same.

Negotiated between the Republican-led House and the Democratic-controlled Senate and backed by President Joe Biden, the bill was passed using a fast-track process, also called suspending the rules, that required a higher two-thirds majority to pass. It was supported by 132 Republicans along with 207 Democrats in Congress.

Marjorie voiced the opinion of the more conservative Republicans who vehemently opposed the bill, as she took to the social media platform and wrote, "When Republicans took the majority in the House, we swore we would never pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) and we swore we would never pass minibusses. Yet here we are under Speaker Johnson, three CRs later, a minibus, and another minibus on the horizon next week."

"I voted NO on today's minibus," she continued. "I want to keep the pledge this Republican-led House made to the American people when we took the majority. I also refuse to fund Joe Biden’s Department of Injustice which has been weaponized to target and persecute his top political opponent, non-violent political protestors who walked the Capitol grounds on January 6th, pro-life activists, Catholics attending Latin Mass, school boards, and concerned parents."

"The spending level of today's minibus is higher than what was agreed upon under Speaker McCarthy. And this bill didn't just increase spending, it gave Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer everything they wanted on their wish list, and that is something I'll always refuse to vote for."

Slamming the House GOP members who supported the bill, the Georgia representative mentioned, "Republicans should've done what we said we were going to do. We should've passed an open rule and allowed Members to offer amendments. We should've let the Representatives of the American people decide the will of the House on each of our twelve appropriations bills and passed them individually."

"Republicans have no excuse for having brought this minibus forward when we could have passed our single-subject appropriations bills and kept our promise to the American people," she concluded.
