On Tuesday, members of the House Freedom Caucus held a press conference to express their disapproval of the debt ceiling agreement and urge their fellow Republicans to vote against it.
Chip Roy (R-TX 21st District) lambasted the McCarthy spending deal.
“Not one Republican should vote for this deal. It is a bad deal. No one sent us here to borrow an additional 4 trillion dollars to get absolutely nothing in return… There will be a reckoning about what just occurred unless we stop this bill,” he said.

— Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) May 30, 2023 Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-PA) said McCarthy “totally failed to deliver” on holding the line.
Detoxification"
“”This deal fails, fails completely…we will do everything in our power to stop it and end it now,” he said.
A simple majority – at least 218 votes if all members are present – will be needed for passage. The Democrats will all likely vote in favor of the passage. Democrats have 212 seats in the House of Representatives.
Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL, Miami-Dade), Rep. Nick Langworthy (R-NY), Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY), Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC), and Rep. Mike Lawler (R-(NY) are just some of the Republican congressmen who have been outspoken in their support of the deal.
House Freedom Caucus (HFC) has 53 members in January 2023, either self-identified or have been identified by colleagues as HFC members.

Criticize but cannot stop it.
RDS was a lowly congressman in 2015 when the Freedom Caucus was founded. Nobody would have rallied around him and joined his group. In reality, he was 1 of 9 reps to form the caucus.
It would be nice if there were specifics in the criticism. Not just “We don’t like it”.
Will they call out McCarthy as speaker and force vote?
Almost everything the .gov does is evil.
Pick an agency at random.
Can I just bet on red?
Yes and if all democrats votes yes. They only need 6 GOP to vote yes.
Yeah, Ron’s big endorser just caved like a girl on the debt deal. Uber conservative, yessiree.

And, what have they actually done?
noise, clucking, flapping and egg laying
That says a lot about what's in the bill.
If it occured that way, McCarthy would have to resign.
Trump twice signed legislation that raised the debt limit. In addition, Trump suspended the debt limit twice.
Trump also had a Democrat House since 2018.
So tough guy Trump’s veto pen stopped working? When the going gets tough, Trump goes timid.
