(WASHINGTON) — Several House Republicans stormed out of Tuesday morning\u2019s conference meeting furious over Speaker Mike Johnson\u2019s handling of the government funding bill \u2013 which still isn\u2019t ready and puts the federal government on the brink of a shutdown at the end of the week.<\/p>\n

Republicans had initially promised to release bill text over the weekend with the aim of holding a vote early in the week, but outspoken criticism from within their ranks has continually delayed negotiators from finalizing the legislation.<\/p>\n

Johnson denied that the evolving package amounts to a so-called \u201cChristmas tree omnibus,\u201d but confirmed that the measure is not a clean continuing resolution and will include a disaster relief package — reported to be more than $100 billion — as well as $10 billion for the agricultural community.<\/p>\n

Missouri Republican Rep. Eric Burlison called the speaker’s funding plan presented at the conference meeting a “total dumpster fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’s garbage,\u201d Burlison said, adding that he has conveyed his frustrations to Johnson, who is seeking to retain the speaker\u2019s gavel in the new year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m disappointed,\u201d Burlison said when asked about Johnson\u2019s future. \u201cI think that he can do better. He can communicate better. The fact that we haven’t seen the language today and we’re supposed to vote on it this week is unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman said he is frustrated with the funding plan as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not voting for the CR [continuing resolution],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Texas GOP Rep. Chip Roy, a frequent critic of the leadership\u2019s spending bills, said, \u201cThis is not the way to do business right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just fundamentally unserious about spending. And as long as you got a blank check, you can\u2019t shrink the government. If you can\u2019t shrink the government, you can\u2019t live free,\u201d Roy said.<\/p>\n

The Texas congressman did not respond when asked if he\u2019ll support the speaker in January.<\/p>\n

Georgia Republican Rep. Rich McCormick said as he left the meeting, \u201cI’m frustrated with the whole approach to this, because I think, once again, we’re just adding to the deficit without having any clear plan forward,\u201d<\/p>\n

After relying on Democrats for bipartisan support to pass the past five continuing resolutions, Johnson brushed off the criticism bubbling up within his ranks, stressing that the bill has not been released.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a couple of friends who will just say that about any end of year funding measure,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThis is not an omnibus, OK? This is a small CR that we’ve had to add things to that were out of our control. These are not manmade disasters. These are things that the federal government has an appropriate role to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the growing tensions, Johnson expressed optimism that his speakership will overcome the challenges to buy the conference time until Republicans have unified control over Washington next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m not worried about the speaker\u2019s vote. We’re governing. Everybody knows we have difficult circumstances. We’re doing the very best we can under those circumstances,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThese are the hard choices that lawmakers have to make, but we will get the job done, as we always do. We will. We will keep moving forward, and in January, we have a new lease on all this.\u201d<\/p>\n

With government funding set to lapse at the end of the week, Johnson was steadfast that the House must abide by a 72-hour rule, where the clock starts to tee up a vote once bill text is released.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in the 72-hour roll rule,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cWe’re committed to all of that. We’re going to take care of these obligations and get this done, and then we’re going to go to work in unified government in the 119th Congress. It begins in January.\u201d<\/p>\n
