Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) accused Senate conservatives of 'trying to mimic the Freedom Caucus' after Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) blocked appropriators from moving forward with a minibus bill.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer accused Senate conservatives of"trying to mimic the Freedom Caucus" after Sen. Ron Johnson blocked appropriators from moving forward with a minibus bill.
"Look, I think MAGA Republicanism is taking over the whole Republican Party. You have in the House the inability to pass the defense appropriations bill. You have in the Senate, one Republican senator, hard right, holding up hundreds of military employees. And now, you have a small little group here in the Senate trying to mimic the Freedom Caucus in the House and trying to even slow up a usually bipartisan appropriations bill," he said.
"I'm pushing for functionality to be returned to this chamber," he told the Washington Examiner."What's wrong with taking up just one bill? Pass it, move on to the next."
