Mark Meadows on Omnibus Bill: ‘Senate Democrats Seem to Be Calling Most of the Shots’

House Freedom Caucus chairman Mark Meadows (R-NC) told Breitbart News Daily host Amanda House on Tuesday that the “Senate Democrats seem to be calling most of the shots” on the omnibus spending battle.
Multiple lawmakers suggested this week that the House will vote on the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill on Thursday. Congress needs to pass the spending bill before midnight Friday to avoid a government shutdown.

House first asked Meadows why House Republican leadership has yet to release the bill text days before Congress has to vote on it.

Meadows argued that the “Senate Democrats seem to be calling most of the shots.”

Meadows told Breitbart News Daily, “It’s the typical thing that happens in Washington, DC. You see, you got so many deadlines, and then, honestly, we wouldn’t run our businesses back home or run your household back home this way, but it seems like everything lurches from deadline to deadline.”

He continued, “We did have a meeting yesterday, Amanda. Basically, we tried to outline some of the things that are in the omnibus for conservatives. I don’t know that this will be a good week because this week, there will be a number of add-ons in the spending bill that will be troubling with not just the amount of money we’re spending, but also the riders that many of us fight for, because conservative causes are not getting any attention because the Senate Democrats seem to be calling most of the shots.”
