Former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MS) has some advice for what Senate Majority Leader-elect Mitch McConnell (R-KY) should tell conservatives: “kiss off” and go ahead with the CRomnibus in response to President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration.
“I would tell them to kiss off and go forward with the CRomnibus,” Lott told reporters Thursday at a breakfast hosted by the Christian Science Monitor according to Buzzfeed.
The CRomnibus (the history of that name you can read about here) is a combined omnibus and continuing resolution package proposal meant to fund certain parts of the government. House Republican leadership wants to use a CRomnibus to fight Obama’s executive actions on immigration.
Lott also called the government shutdown that occurred last year a “fraud” and urged McConnell to make conservatives in the Senate follow Republican Senate leadership’s lead.
