House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claimed Republicans are in “civil war” amid the party’s failure to agree on spending bills to fund government operations — and avert an Oct. 1 shutdown.
Jeffries (D-NY) accused the GOP infighting as the primary reason why large swaths of the government could close — noting far-right Republicans have threatened to force House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) out of leadership if doesn’t comply with their demands.
“Let’s be clear: House Republicans are in the middle of a civil war,” Jeffries ’ “This Week” on Sunday.
“The House Republican civil war is hurting hard-working American taxpayers and limiting our ability to be able to solve problems on their behalf,” he added.
