The House Freedom Caucus is a congressional caucus consisting of conservative Republican members of the United States House of Representatives.
The caucus should not be mistaken with free market advocacy or libertarianism. They are low-level interventionists.
That said, they are much better than congressional non-caucus members and they did save the country from the horrific Ryan-Trump tag team healthcare plan.
So the President continues to harass them from the White House with his Tweet machine:
The Republican House Freedom Caucus was able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. After so many bad years they were ready for a win!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 28, 2017
-RWDemocrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 26, 2017
Asshole doesn't even realize he just won.
ReplyDeleteYea it's disappointing to see that he doesn't care (doesn't know better?) what's in the bill, he just wants to be able to say "I kept a campaign promise", even if the replacement is worse!
DeleteI think he would have lost his next bid if this law passed.
