As House lawmakers prepare to vote for a third time on a potential continuing resolution (CR) to avoid a government shutdown, “Mr. Wonderful” is giving the stark reality on what will likely happen by Friday’s deadline.
“This is classic, shut down [the] government, bad Christmas movie. We’ve seen it so many times. This is how sausage is made in Washington. I like this political theater. I love it when there’s profanity on the floor during the speeches and everybody’s ranting and raving,” O’Leary Ventures Chairman Kevin O’Leary said Friday on “Varney & Co.”
“They’re going to punt for two to three weeks because they want to go home for the holidays. It’s that simple,” he continued. “That’s the solution.”
One Republican lawmaker told reporters on Capitol Hill that the House is planning to vote on another CR proposal to avert the looming partial government shutdown.
