‘Stunning Act of Betrayal’: Here Are the 18 Senate Republicans Who Voted to Pass $1.85 Trillion McConnell-Schumer Omnibus Bill
The Daily Signal ^ | 12/22/2022 | Tyler O'Neill

Posted on 12/22/2022 1:06:48 PM PST by DFG

A total of 18 Republicans joined all Senate Democrats to pass a $1.85 trillion omnibus spending bill Thursday afternoon, in the final two weeks in which Democrats control the House of Representatives.

The bill passed 68-29. Since there are 47 Democrats in the Senate and three independents who caucus with Democrats, that means 18 Republicans voted to support the spending package. They are listed below.

Conservatives called the move during the lame-duck session a “stunning act of betrayal.” Democrats have had both branches of Congress and the presidency during all of 2022, conservatives say, but rushed to pass this budget bill only after Republicans won a House majority in November.

Since 1994, the House majority has changed four times. In each case, the outgoing majority didn’t pass an omnibus appropriations bill during the lame-duck session following the election. In each case, the outgoing majority left the hard work of legislating to the representatives the American people had just elected.

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., incoming chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, warned that Republicans would be voluntarily abandoning their ability to hold the Biden administration accountable for the next year.

Like I have said before. The FIBBERs know that they have the republicans in their pocket. They can do whatever they want without the republicans doing anything real and substantial about it.

All we can get are sternly worded letters from the senile fool, Grassley. His staff probably automatically types those up when something comes up.

Agree...Cotton, while not submitting earmarks (source), knows better than to vote against Boozman's. All states, whether red/blue/purple, are green when it comes to earmarks.

I never met him but I actually lived close to another Young that was some sort of politician, back in the late 80s. Perhaps a relative of Todd’s?

Anyway I’m completely disgusted with Todd Young. I watched his ads and he campaigned as a conservative. He’s a damned liar as He already voted for the gay bill, you know the one that allowed gays and interracial couples to marry…even though they already could?

So if he is for big spending and LGBTQ+-\> whatever then I wonder just what conservative causes he IS for?

I think the government has info being held over their heads. With everything I’ve read about the FBI it’d make sense.

It’s not that he’s a coward. It’s that you’re not a billionaire.
