The White House reacted to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) new stopgap funding bill Saturday, calling it “extreme.”
“This proposal is just a recipe for more Republican chaos and more shutdowns—full stop,” a statement from White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre read. “With just days left before an Extreme Republican Shutdown—and after shutting down Congress for three weeks after they ousted their own leader—House Republicans are wasting precious time with an unserious proposal that has been panned by members of both parties.”
“An Extreme Republican Shutdown would put critical national security and domestic priorities at risk, including by forcing service members to work without pay,” Jean-Pierre continued. “This comes just days after House Republicans were forced to pull two of their own extreme appropriations bills from the floor—further deepening their dysfunction.”
I think they should just refer to the people themselves as “Republican Extremists” and leave it at that.
It doesn’t make “moderate Republicans” feel bad, and allows them join in hating on the “bad ones” instead of going into full defensive mode. I use quotations because a lot of them like to pretend to be the smart ones sometimes.
It also forces them to mentally associate with other things they hate that are labeled ________ extremists.
Nah, we NEED to drive a wedge between the noncrazies and the crazies. If calling it the MAGA Mess gets the normies angry at the psychos, GOOD!
They’re only making room for more and more harm the longer they retain ANY power. Influence is power. They have less influence if they fail to ally.
