MTG says ‘no one wants the Green New Deal’ amid gov­ern­ment fund­ing con­cerns

Rep. Mar­jorie Tay­lor Greene (R‑GA) has crit­i­cized Demo­c­ra­t­ic law­mak­ers over their poli­cies and encour­aged her fel­low Repub­li­cans to fig­ure out how to “appro­pri­ate­ly” fund the gov­ern­ment ahead of a poten­tial shut­down at the end of Sep­tem­ber.
The poten­tial shut­down, sched­uled to start on Sept. 30, would begin due to the gov­ern­ment run­ning out of mon­ey with­out the pas­sage of spend­ing bills. Ahead of the dead­line, Greene said that House Speak­er Kevin McCarthy “told us last week that we’re not leav­ing town” until they fin­ish their work, with which she said she “com­plete­ly” agrees.

Gas prices are out of con­trol. No one can afford their elec­tric­i­ty bills, and nobody wants the Green New Deal. And so I think it’s our job to get in the room, and get to work, and fig­ure out how to fund the gov­ern­ment, but do it appro­pri­ate­ly.”
