The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to end the government shutdown, or as Senator Marco Rubio called it, a “government slowdown,” by approving a short-term bill that President Obama has just signed.
As expected, establishment Republicans caved.
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
Members of the House passed the bill on a vote of 285-144, with 87 Republicans crossing over and supporting ‘all’ of the House Democrats, who also voted in favor of the Obama-friendly piece of legislation.
The Senate bill, which the House approved, passed by a 81-18 margin in the Senate.
“We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win” -House Speaker John Boehner
It is obvious that the infighting within the Republican-led house continues, as Speaker Boehner and other establishment Republicans, once again, clash with conservative-minded legislators that have been standing on principle.
