In a tale as old as time, the Republican Party is preparing to stab their own voters in the back once again and surrender to Democrats on critical legislation.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the bill in question this time involves The SAVE Act. This legislation mandates proof of citizenship for voter registration in federal elections and has become a rallying cry for many Americans who believe it is crucial to safeguarding the sanctity of the ballot box.
President Trump has been unyielding in his support for the SAVE Act, even suggesting that the government should shut down if the bill is not included in the Continuing Resolution (CR).
“If Republicans in the House, and Senate, don’t get absolute assurances on Election Security, THEY SHOULD, IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, GO FORWARD WITH A CONTINUING RESOLUTION,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
After first pulling the bill before a scheduled vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson eventually put the legislation up for a vote last Wednesday. Democrats almost unanimously joined 14 Republicans in sinking the bill by a 220-202 margin.
Now, Johnson is reportedly throwing in the towel and is now seeking to fund the U.S. government wihtout addressing election security.
Punchbowl News’s Jake Sherman spoke with Capitol Hill sources this morning and revealed that Johnson’s plan is to pass a congressional resolution this week that will fund the government through December 20, just five days before Christmas.

No Democrats are really Republicans but most Republicans are really Democrats
Do NOT pass a funding bill without the SAVE Act, no matter what.
Cowering before the MSM, again.
Why now? What purpose would itserve to create chaos 45 days from the election? How would this bill impact an election already started?
He’s useless.
If it was in it would have been voted down by Democrats and for reason it did pass Biden said he wouldn’t sign it so no loss either way.
The bigger issue is the continuing resolution. That should never be passed or any omnibus bill.
Pass the damn bill...The Save Act does nothing in actuality....just says what we already know...Citizens can vote...all others...NO!!
Won’t pass the senate, and you know, that a good thing. Passing the save act now is only symbolic.
I hope this POS is thrown out in the next congress. This scumbag epitomizes what the GOPe is and why our country is falling apart.
Republicans already killed the bill that had the save act in it earlier.
People should have been up in arms over that, but even people here on Free Republic clapped their hands because “can’t fund the government” buying into the lies their representatives told them that the bill was over spending.
You just knew he was going to do it. 😆
Should the Republicans manage to keep control of the House, a different Republican speaker needs to be chosen by the GOP House members in January.
Everyone saw this coming. He doesn’t know how to negotiate. He ends up negotiating with himself everytime.
Voting by people who are not US citizens should face 100% opposition. Unless the US Constitution is fictional.
I mean, really, what a really really nice guy, all the time.
LOL!! He lasted all of 2 days. I think they make a game of how fast they can cave.
The only ones elected are left wingers.
Johnson is an establishment plant.
