DENVER — Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) expressed his displeasure with members of the House Republican Conference who are blocking legislation from being brought to the floor for a vote because they're upset — in part — about the debt ceiling deal.
On Tuesday, a group of members on the right flank of the Republican Conference prevented a bill to block a ban on gas stoves from coming to the floor. The House has since been in limbo because the group has pledged to block any legislation that comes to the floor.“All of the conservative initiatives will die because of the Freedom Caucus,” Lamborn told the Washington Examiner in an interview. “I view that as totally wrongheaded. And they don't have an end game.
Included in the group of people preventing bills from coming to the floor are the two other Republicans House members from Colorado, Lauren Boebert and Ken Buck, who have both been outspoken against Speaker Kevin McCarthy and are helping lead the rebellion. If the right flank members of the party continue to block bills, then it will ruin the opportunity Republicans have to pass legislation in the majority, Lamborn said.
