Shutdown Squad –> Chaos Caucus

October 3, 2023

House Democrats are now officially the Chaos Caucus. Let’s recap the past few days:

  • Rosa DeLauro lied on the House floor saying that there was a Member pay raise in a critical funding bill to sow confusion
  • Hakeem Jeffries used an arcane delay tactic on the House floor to prevent a vote and keep the country barreling toward a shutdown
  • Jamaal Bowman illegally pulled a fire alarm to try and delay votes

Just now: Democrats, including Dina Titus, Susie Lee and Steven Horsford, voted en masse following their extreme leader, Hakeem Jeffries, to throw the House into chaos on a motion to vacate.

“Extreme House Democrats like Dina Titus, Susie Lee and Steven Horsford are arsonists complaining about fire damage. As House Republicans continue to try to do the people’s work considering critical funding bills, House Democrats are using every dirty trick to delay, deflect and destroy the institution.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
