'The best deal is no deal': Freedom caucus members threaten to burn down US credit over debt limit

Members of the House Freedom Caucus spoke out against Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) deal with President Joe Biden to raise the nation's debt limit.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) called the deal "fake news," and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) argued no deal should be made to prevent default on U.S. debt.

"I want to thank all of my members behind me that have got the courage to stand up and say no to this bill," Norman said. "Folks, the two factions that are supporting this bill, China, because they're just buying more debt to control America, and the Biden administration, which, as the hearings are showing, is corrupt and compromised to China."

"Somewhere, somebody has got to stop it," he continued. "This group behind me is willing to do that."

Norman noted he would have a chance to block the bill during Rules Committee hearings.

"Folks, if we can stop it there, I will stop it," he vowed. "Let's call their bluff on it. The best deal is no deal."
