Here's one of the House's most conservative Republicans:
This is impeachment theater. We right now are starting the appropriations process, and there is not consensus on the Republican side about what the numbers should be. Kevin McCarthy promised when he was running for speaker one set of numbers, and then he made an agreement with President Biden for the debt ceiling increase on another set of numbers. So right now, he has got to convince the public that he’s credible and that Republicans have a duty to follow him. The party itself is not in agreement, and we’re gonna have some real trouble passing appropriations bills. . . . What he’s doing is he’s saying there’s a shiny object over here and we’re really gonna focus on that. - Ken Buck
