Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Tex.) said he serves “with some real scumbags,” while others fought over House Speaker Mike Johnson’s strategy for bringing up the package that divided the GOP conference.
The House came together Saturday to pass a sweeping $95 billion foreign aid package, a rare moment of bipartisan cooperation in the closely divided chamber. But the move only intensified infighting among House Republicans, who split sharply on the strategy to deliver assistance to foreign allies including Ukraine and Israel.over the events that led up to the vote.
But in voting against conservative measures they do not believe go far enough, other Republicans say, hard-liners are weakening Johnson’s hand in negotiations because the conference is not united around a set of demands.The hard-line bloc has long objected to considering further Ukraine aid without legislation to secure American borders.
“Those who voted to fund Ukraine’s borders instead of America’s KNEW for certainty that the separate border security was going to die in the Senate, and are now dying for cover — so they’re casting blame,” Roy said after the vote on X. “Own it.”, saying the “isolationist Republicans” were standing in the way of at least forcing Senate Democrats to take a politically difficult vote
