Speaking to Cats Roundtable on WABC on Sunday, GOP Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin criticized McConnell for not waiting until early next year – when Republicans control the House of Representatives – to discuss long term spending.
The senator from Utah warned that McConnell approving the bipartisan funding talks was ‘the final straw’ and called for ‘different’ circumstances in the new Congress.
Johnson, meanwhile, claimed Republicans ‘got our you-know-whats handed to us’ with the final omnibus despite McConnell championing its foreign policy deliverables as GOP victories.
‘Our leadership turned on Republican voters, turned on the Republican base, turned on most Republican senators,’ Lee told radio host John Catsimatidis.
‘It’s happened before, but this is one too many times. For me, this is a final straw.’
He added, ‘Things are gonna have to be very, very different when we come back next year.’
[We’ve heard that before, In fact, we hear it every two years. This sounds more like fan service than actual organization — and McConnell out-organizes everyone. — Ed]
