Amid the House\u2019s return to the Capitol on Monday, members of the House Freedom Caucus laid out their perspective on both the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the $3.5 trillion budget.<\/p>\n<p>The group of Republicans slammed Democrats over their push for wasteful spending in both bills by saying further discussion needed to take place before they were passed. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) pointed out instead of the House reconvening to address the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, they came back to discuss Socialist Democrat spending bills that would rack up the national debt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThousands of Americans are still on the outside of gates looking to try to get into the airport in Afghanistan, in Kabul,\u201d he stated. \u201c\u2026Instead of having conversations about what we can do to push this administration to do its job, we\u2019re here to spend $3.5 trillion we don\u2019t have and we\u2019re here to have the federal takeover of elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;When thousands of Americans are still on the outside of gates looking to try to get into the airport in Afghanistan \u2026 Instead of sitting in here and having hearings \u2026 we\u2019re here to spend 3.5 trillion dollars we don\u2019t have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep Roy opens fire on Pelosi&#8217;s priorities: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qZUkVU7Qzj\">pic.twitter.com\/qZUkVU7Qzj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) took the opportunity to take shots at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for trying to pass what Greene called the Green New Deal disguised as infrastructure and budget reconciliation bills.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to say, \u201cI find it pretty appalling and pretty shocking that Nancy Pelosi, who has always come across as a pretty tough woman to me, has actually given and been bullied by the Squad, the radical Squad into passing the Green New Deal this week.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nancy Pelosi brought us back to pass the Green New Deal disguised as a $1.2 trillion \u201cinfrastructure\u201d spending spree &amp; a $3.5 trillion budget. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll be voting NO on this communist plan that will put America on its knees to China.<\/p>\n<p>Every Republican should join me and a STOP it. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gDuRJR8ZJO\">pic.twitter.com\/gDuRJR8ZJO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.
