Conservative leaders from more than a dozen outside groups warned congressional Tea Party caucus members against another government shutdown.

A heated discussion broke out Wednesday at a closed-door Tea Party caucus meeting organized by the group TheTeaparty.net, according to a source in the room.

The consensus in the meeting was that House Republicans should work to avoid another government funding fight when current funding levels expire in January — “though there was a vocal minority cheering it on,” according to an attendee who was not authorized to speak about an off-the-record meeting.

The pro-shutdown contingent said that a second shutdown fight could be won with better GOP messaging.
