House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) dared House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to put a clean government spending bill up for a vote Monday night.

“I dare you to bring that bill to the floor,” Hoyer said minutes before the House took a vote on its latest spending bill with new anti-Obamacare provisions.

Boehner has refused to allow a vote on the Senate-passed spending bill with no changes to Obamacare.
