Republicans are “holding three of a kind” in negotiations over government funding, Rep. Mark Alford, R-Mo., declared Monday, urging House GOP holdouts to back the effort.
“Look we are holding three of a kind right now,” Alford argued. “We are going to secure the border with this continuing resolution. We're going to reduce spending by 8%. …That's something brand new, and we're also going to pay our military.” Alford also cautioned that a government shutdown would stop investigations into President Joe Biden and his family, asserting an impeachment inquiry must be conducted “the right way” — and that will require the government to stay open.
Alford said if House Republicans “go through the regular order … and I'm pretty sure it will … directly link the then-vice president of the United States and makes him the most compromised president in U.S. history.”The lawmaker agreed that “we did not do well in the negotiations,” referring to Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s, R-Calif., proposal in April to pair $4.5 trillion in spending cuts with a $1.5 trillion increase in the federal debt limit.
