SWAMP RATS: 71 REPUBLICANS VOTED AGAINST THE BIDEN/MCCARTHY DEBT CEILING DEAL

71 Republicans voted against the Biden/McCarthy debt ceiling deal. Congressman Matt Rosendale says they didn’t put a dollar amount on it because people wouldn’t support such a large amount. They did put a date on it of Jan. 2025 so neither party would have to discuss the budget in an election year. Rosendale says the package is a complete misrepresentation when they say there’s nothing in it for Democrats. If so, why did so many Dems vote for it? He calls it the “Fiscal Irresponsibility Act.” An insult to Americans to say it’s a good deal—it’s disingenuous at best, dishonest at worst. This is the Swamp at its worst, the Swamp on full display. Leadership makes a big difference, so do rules. But when Leadership steps in and suspends the rules, the Speaker makes the final call. When you have enough people who are in fear of losing their position, their Chairmanship or the Committee they serve on, and they go along with suspending the rules, shame on them.

GUEST: REP. MATT ROSENDALE, MONTANA
