JEFFRIES SPOKESPERSON STATEMENT ON EXTREME MAGA REPUBLICANS CONTINUING TO THREATEN THE ECONOMY

Washington, DC – Office of the Democratic Leader spokesperson Christie Stephenson issued this statement following Speaker McCarthy’s refusal to produce a Republican budget: 

A speech is not a plan. Extreme MAGA Republicans continue to treat the full faith and credit of the United States as a hostage situation while their so-called budget proposal remains in the witness protection program. As always, we will evaluate any legislative text when and if House Republicans can ever agree with themselves about how much they want to devastate American families in order to finance tax cuts for the wealthy, well-off and well-connected.
