He even took Reps.

They walked to another Chipotle location on H Street, which had chips in stock. &#8220;It was kind of an epic McCarthy move,&#8221; McHenry said. &#8220;When he walks in, Graves and I are in the middle of something a bit more serious &#8211; and he says, &#8216;We&#8217;re going to Chipotle.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And the best part? Reporters were later gifted chips and queso.<\/p>\n<h3>Debt Limit Deal: Where It Stands and What Is Still to Come<\/h3>\n<p>The House passed the debt ceiling on Wednesday evening with bipartisan support.
