The lawmakers of the House Freedom Caucus are not fans of tradition in Washington D.C., especially when it comes to funding the federal government.
Members of the conservative caucus pitched a slate of demands this week as their condition for earning their support of a continuing resolution to keep funding the federal government beyond the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.
“What we’re not going to accept is just a clean CR, the same old status quo that we always do that goes into December and pressurizes every member to vote for garbage to get home for Christmas and all that stuff,” said Mr. Perry, Pennsylvania Republican. “We’re not doing that.” Mr. Perry said that shoring up the U.S./Mexico border is not a “novel issue,” saying Republicans have all campaigned on the stance to press the Biden administration to secure the southern border.
House Freedom Caucus member Rep. Andrew Clyde said lawmakers “must use the power of the purse” to reign in the agency, which House Republicans have long labeled as promoting a two-tiered justice system for its handling of the probe into Hunter Biden and growing list of indictments against former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Perry would like to see the same type of changes addressed in a continuing resolution, or else the Freedom Caucus will vote against continuing to fund the Pentagon, he said.
