McCarthy's Government Shutdown Circus and Betrayal: A GOP Fiasco

Rep. Maxwell Frost criticized House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the House Freedom Caucus for their role in the looming government shutdown. Frost accused McCarthy and the extremist House Republicans of prioritizing their own politics over the needs of the American people. The deadline for passing spending bills is approaching, and if Congress fails to do so, non-essential federal agencies will stop working, causing temporary job losses and a halt in government services. McCarthy's ability to secure enough votes for a stopgap measure is uncertain, as members of the House Freedom Caucus have threatened a shutdown and McCarthy's speakership. Frost also criticized McCarthy and Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry into Hunter Biden instead of focusing on funding the government.
