Congressional Republicans are lining up in opposition to a new government spending proposal to prevent a partial shutdown on Saturday, December 21, 2024. Subsequently, Republican lawmakers are voicing their disdain for the stop-gap spending measure, hammering the bill as an omnibus masquerading as a continuing resolution (CR).

Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) sarcastically suggested that conservative Republicans should create an OnlyFans account, commenting on how often they feel disregarded. “Conservative Republicans should start an OnlyFans account considering how often we get screwed… The CR is a bad deal,” the Florida Republican wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Meanwhile, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) demanded his colleagues oppose the bill after the legislative language was made public. In a social media post, Sen. Lee shamed fellow Republicans for backing the spending measure: “Like a dog to its vomit, big-spending Republicans in Congress are returning to what’s familiar & neglecting what’s necessary.”

Adding to the chorus of critique, Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) stated his intent to oppose the proposal. Gosar described the CR as a “garbage” document, making clear his refusal to support it. Meanwhile, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called it a “Christmas CR lump of coal.” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) also affirmed her opposition with a simple “nope.”

Similarly, Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) criticized Republican leaders, arguing they failed to introduce a clean CR. The Florida Senator noted that House and Senate leadership’s lack of fiscal restraint illustrates why the country needs President-elect Donald J. Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). An initiative set up by Trump to tackle government spending and waste, DOGE is being advised by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Musk voiced his opposition to the spending bill as well.
