Republicans have the ‘opportunity’ to hold White House, Senate ‘accountable’ for spending

Just two days out from a government shutdown, lawmakers are no closer to a spending deal. Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), a member of the House Freedom Caucus, joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss why far-right members won’t agree to a stopgap measure, his confidence in Speaker McCarthy’s leadership and the GOP impeachment inquiry into President Biden. “We cannot do what Congress has been doing for decades,” says Good. “This is our opportunity to meet the moment, to rise to the occasion, to hold the Senate and the White House accountable for this amount of spending.”

It is the job of the House to keep the lights on. Not the White House. Not the senate. Whether or not they were able to procure what they wanted to. The blame lies squarely on the House for not fulfilling their duties.

what an embarrassing interview. The fact that you let him vomit all those lies with no pushback is a disservice to the American people!

Trump added $7.8 trillion in four years and not a single Republican said a single word about deficit spending.

[Randy-jguy]

All I hope is that the Republicans get what they deserve and get voted out next November.

[connorthompson]

Kudos to Andrea for not laughing at this guy's evasion on the subject of government spending and absolute ignorance about the meaning of 'evidence'.

[peacebewithyou]

Andrea, why do you let them filibuster, ignore your questions and recite memorized talking points?

[Nonameforyoudangit]

For those criticizing Ms. Mitchell, she did tell him he was wrong - she just wasn't obnoxious about it. With great class, she let Rep. Good show his @ss.

[maxmando]

They should have had Ari interview him. She allowed him to run over her

[Vvgghgbbvc]

See this IS about impeaching Donald Trump legitimately. This guy just said it at the end of the interview with Andrea

[brianszymanski]

Last administration tacked on 7.8 trillion dollars worth of debt.

[Vvgghgbbvc]

Determined to take things away that help average Americans. Republicans who claim to be so worried about spending, never add seriously how much taxes will be raised on the rich, so they pay their fair share. Don’t listen to this garbage about balancing budgets or cutting spending, until they raise taxes on the rich. Then they are worthy of being considered as serious.

[lindaSmith]

If Republicans were really serious about the deficit, all cards would be on the table. Tax increases of the wealthy, businesses and decreasing corporate welfare. Instread the want balance the budget on the backs of ordinary Americans.

[MoKingson]

For all the evidence this guy claims to have there sure are a lot of Republicans who say there is no evidence. This guy is pulling one out of the Ramaswamy playbook. Talk super fast and jump topics when presented with facts. Deny facts exist even when his own party members acknowledge them. Must be one heck of a drug he’s on.

[ronaldcole]

Another 5 million votes for Democrats in 2024. MAGA is the gift that keeps on giving for 2024 Democrats. Thanks! Keep it coming.

[timtambornino]

that poor man is brain washed. his numbers are bogus. The GOP being accountable is the best joke I have heard today, cashing the economy is not in any way saving money. I hope a real reporter fact checks this interview. Someone on the budget committee should have a better understanding of reality than this man. They are the ones moving the goal post.

[victoriamoore]

The madas are spending needless money on BS.😢

[danielknight]

Why are you not pushing back on these lies. You keep throwing softballs and then let him talk over you. What an absolutely useless reporter. You guys need to hire Jon Stewart or at least learn from him. SHAME SHAME SHAME.

[varonicagilbert]

You have got to do a better job at calling out these people’s lies or quit giving them air time.

[unregisteredcoward]

they've painted themselves into a corner ...

[ramaunpitts]

Tell me you stupid without telling me you stupid 😂
