It’s not hard to find a House Republican frustrated with the House Freedom Caucus.
Just this year, again and again and again and again and again, members of the Freedom Caucus have trashed what they’re voting on as insufficiently conservative, only for those very same members to suddenly fall in line and support what’s before them with hardly any real concessions.
As Republicans scrambled to wrap up their massive reconciliation bill earlier this month, it was a pattern on full display. A handful of Freedom Caucus members labeled the bill as everything from “Frankenstein” to a “travesty,” set a record for stalling a procedural vote over seven hours, and in the end, voted for it anyway.
