MAGA Rep. Tells Mike Johnson 'I Rebuke You in the Name of Jesus!' In GOP Budget Meeting [View all]

NOTUS reported that tensions boiled over in a closed-door House GOP meeting on Tuesday, at which point MAGA Rep. Greg Steube of Florida exploded at House Speaker Mike Johnson; calling him a liar and telling him "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus!"

The meeting was called in an attempt to get hold out members of Johnson's caucus on board with voting for the Senate approved budget proposal, which does not yet have enough GOP support to bring to the House floor. Hardliners have been pushing for more than the $4 billion in cuts offered in the Senate budget. Though Trump was able to change House Republican minds on the budget passed in February, GOP members are privately disclosing that this version feels dead in the water.

"This one feels different," an anonymous Republican told NOTUS. House Freedom Caucus chair Andy Harris even refused to attend a meeting with Trump at the White House, stating there was nothing Trump could do to change his mind.

During the closed-door meeting Tuesday, several Republicans pushed back on Speaker Johnson, who has said he intends to bring the Senate version to the floor this week. Members called on Johnson to bring the Senate version into conference committee where a compromise bill with steeper cuts could be developed. Johnson rejected the idea, stating it would take too much time.
