Multiple Republican members of the House admitted they “didn’t know” part of what was in the House spending bill, according to a NOTUS report.
“Congressman Mike Flood (R-NE) told his constituents at a town hall last week he didn’t know that the bill would limit judges’ power to hold people in contempt for violating court orders, saying he wouldn’t have supported it if he knew,” the outlet said. “When approached by NOTUS about his comments Wednesday, he said to contact his office.
“Congressman Flood 100% supports renewing the Trump tax cuts this year. He’s closely monitoring the Senate’s work and looks forward to continuing to support ‘The One, Big, Beautiful Bill’ as it works its way through the legislative process,” Flood’s spokesperson told NOTUS in a statement. Flood is not alone, major Trump supporter, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted on X her disdain for the “ big, beautiful bill.”
“Full transparency,” she said, “I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB [one big beautiful bill] that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights, and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there.” Greene later added, “This needs to be stripped out in the Senate.” The second thoughts from House members come as Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, is relentlessly criticizing the bill.
