Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed by ex-GOP chair on shut down: 'You don't get to deflect this'

"Democrats are clearly fine with shut downs. They shut down the whole country over COVID for far too long … People here in Washington need to understand how it feels to be shut down,” said Greene. Former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele, a frequent critic of former President Donald Trump and the current direction of the GOP, was quick to clap back at Greene. "You don't get to deflect this away with your BS," wrote Steele. "Now on the brink of shutting down the government, pseudo-Republicans like you (sorry for the big word) are now acting aggrieved because of YOUR intransigence. I know, I did it again."

The handful of mostly Freedom Caucus-affiliated far-right Republicans pushing the House toward a shutdown, which could leave tens of thousands of government workers without a paycheck, have not articulated any clear demands in return for passing the funding.

The bill, which funds the government through Nov. 17, was signed into law by President Biden late Saturday night, the White House confirmed.

I am glad things have worked out, far too many average Americans would have suffered some hardship if the extension wasn't passed. I say good on Mcarthy and President Biden for working together in bipartisan manner!!!
