Steube Slams 'Christmas Parade of Horribles' CR Bill

The "Plan B" bill to fund the government has failed, and President-elect Donald Trump (R) is not happy. Some Republicans in congress also share the sentiment, but the bill has drawn a line in the sand between Republicans who supported the bill and those who argue it's just "business as usual." Ahead of the vote, Florida Rep. Greg Steube (R) spoke against the CR bill, calling it a "Christmas parade of horribles."

In the sunshine state, Florida Reps. Aaron Bean (R), Kat Cammack (R), and Cory Mills (R) voted against the bill. The resolution ultimately failed with a "No" vote of 235 to 174 in favor. To pass, the resolution needed a two-thirds majority, which would have resulted in a final vote of 273 of the 409 House members.

Congress now heads back to the drawing board as they race against time to fund the bill, and Republicans are fractured among those who argue the government should be shut down, those who supported the bill, and those who want to address government spending.

Ahead of the vote, Rep. Steube grilled the "Plan B" bill, accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) of prioritizing Democrats in an effort to cut a deal with them. "There's all these Democratic priorities in this bill, and that is not what the American people gave us as an agenda to do just 43 short days ago," he said during an interview on Fox Business.

On social media, he added more information on what those "Democratic priorities" were, noting that "the CR hands over federal land - FREE of charge - to DC to build an NFL stadium," "Festivals and stadium concerts have apparently found their way into Congress’ holiday spending spree with the American Music Tourism Act being tucked into this CR," and "The CR also piles on more federal regulations in telecommunications, healthcare, and financial services."
