On Sunday Shows, GOP Leaders Shamelessly Try to Brush Off Dangerous House Republican Chaos

In yet another fumble, Speaker Boehner, Leader McCarthy and Whip Scalise booked themselves on Sunday shows before they counted votes.  The trio tried desperately to brush off their embarrassing short-term DHS bill defeat, downplay the significant amount of internal chaos in their Conference and shift the blame to others.

Speaker Boehner on CBS' Face the Nation.  …We do have some Members who disagree from time to time…

Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Meet the Press.  It was the Senate Democrats…they created the cliff…

Majority Whip Steve Scalise on Fox News Sunday.  We want to continue this battle and go to a conference committee.

Former Republican Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Rep. Peter King, however, sang a different tune this morning on ABC ‘This Week' when asked about the prospects of a long-term DHS funding bill:

…bring the clean bill to the floor of the House for a vote – an up and down vote.  That's all we're asking for, is democracy.  Let that come to a vote.  There's no doubt it will pass.  

Speaker Boehner, Americans witnessed the dysfunctional, humiliating and "messy" way the month of February ended for you and House Republicans – this after your horrendous and obstructive month of January.  It's time to end this Republican manufactured crisis and join Democrats in passing a long-term DHS funding bill.
