We are now just about a week away from the June 5 deadline that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has recently issued–as an update to the June 1 date–before the nation heads towards default. President Joe Biden, after rebuffing House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) attempts at negotiations for over three months, is skipping town for the long holiday weekend while the White House gaslights with reckless abandon. Republicans are doing their part, though, which includes McCarthy’s negotiators.
One of them, Rep. Garret Graves (R-LA), provided an update to reporters on Friday afternoon that shows they are holding the line, at least on the most basic, no-brainer ideas.
Graves strongly denounced opposition from the White House on work requirements, expressing “if you’re really going to fall on the sword for [work requirements], versus actually negotiating something that changes the trajectory of the country, for spending, I mean, that’s crazy to me that we’re even having this debate today.”
When asked by CNN’s Manu Raju if House Republicans would be willing to drop work requirements, Graves responded in no uncertain terms with an “hell no, hell no, not a chance.”
Why in the world would they impeach Ken Paxton . And then ask yourself why is Greg Abbott, Ted Cruz, not saying anything about this impeachment. Sounds to me in order to get work requirements that they had to give up the man standing up against the border crisis. Fishy the timing of this and how quickly it was done. Lots of Rinos in Republican Party.
