Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) was one of a number of House Republicans to enthusiastically embrace a new government funding plan Republicans unveiled on Saturday.
“I said, like 9/11, ‘let’s roll!'” Culberson said of his remarks during a closed-door Saturday meeting of House Republicans on Saturday, according to MSNBC.
The new continuing resolution also includes a one-year delay of Obamacare and a repeal of the medical device tax. The proposal would also keep the government funded through Dec. 15.
The American people don’t want a government shut down and they don’t want Obamacare,” House Republican leaders said in a joint statement. “We will do our job and send this bill over, and then it’s up to the Senate to pass it and stop a government shutdown.”
