House Republicans blindsided by Camp David meeting fume after finding out about sleepover

Source: Raw Story

House GOP leaders were furious with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) as more details emerged about the Camp David meeting snub that left Republican lawmakers blindsided, according to reports Tuesday.

The meetings over budget reconciliation apparently took place Monday and left out Rep. Blake Moore (R-UT) and Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN), two members of leadership on the budget committee, NOTUS politics reporter Reese Gorman wrote in a post on X.

Some moderate Republicans have reportedly not been included in any talks about the third reconciliation bill, NOTUS reported.

"If they want to pass something, they gotta know how to count the 218," Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) told NOTUS. "So again, I haven’t seen anything."

We’ll have a new Speaker in January.

I don’t know what’ll happen in the Senate in November, but if the House flips to majority Dem, then the Speaker will be a Dem.

It’d be best if we flipped BOTH the House and Senate. But the party that gets the most House votes then gets to pick the Speaker. Let it be DEMS!

Did they all sleep in the same room in sleeping bags?

And once again, those moderates 🙄

There are long shots in politics, but there are also efforts made in vain. I think most of the elected white nationalists know this is the latter. It's to keep a single 80-year old from posting in all caps about them.
