Rep. Mark Meadows: GOP Demands Won't Lead to 'Honest Debate'

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows, R-N.C., took to Twitter on Tuesday and said that Republican leadership's demands to pass a funding bill do not lead to an "honest debate."

When the choice becomes: "pass the funding bill we give you, or stay in Washington over Christmas"--how does that produce a good result? How does that produce honest debate?

It doesn't.

House Republicans are weighing plans to pass a funding bill that would extend beyond a Dec. 8 deadline. Beyond that deadline, the government would shut down.

Republican leaders are weighing deals to fund the government through Dec. 30, House Freedom Caucus members said Monday, according to The Hill.
