GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz Reveals Speaker Johnson Didn't Even Talk to Moderate Republicans Before Pushing CR
"Listen, we're a divided government, but we don't have to be ruled by Democrats. Speaker Johnson didn't even talk to moderate Republicans, not just to conservatives.
He usually doesn't even care to hear us. You know, that's unfortunate."

"He just made the deal, you know, with Democrats, put a bunch of slush funds, what they wanted, put little things that maybe he can try to push some Republicans to vote and try to sell it as a victory, which is really another, you know, Christmas present to Chuck Schumer. And that's what was expected by Republicans, and he's been dishonest in this."

"I think at some point enough is enough, and if we don't start governing, the country is on a calamity course. So I hope next Congress will grow the backbone and start dealing with the swamp, because fiscally, the country is really in huge, huge trouble."

"The failure of this leadership to listen to every voice within the party, not just the extremes but the moderates who represent a significant portion of the population, is disheartening. Decisions are being made without transparency or accountability, fueling frustration and distrust."

"While certain factions within the government celebrate these deals as victories, they fail to recognize the long-term repercussions on the nation's stability and financial health."

"This continued pattern of backroom negotiations and prioritization of partisan interests over collective good has driven a deeper wedge between our leaders and the American people. It is imperative that we steer away from this path of political gamesmanship. Instead, we must focus on bipartisan solutions and meaningful governance to address the pressing issues facing our country today."

"Without a course correction, the growing divide and fiscal irresponsibility could lead to consequences that are increasingly difficult to reverse. This moment calls for leadership with courage and integrity to address the challenges at hand and to restore faith in our government’s ability to serve all Americans effectively."
