U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said on Tuesday that "Democrats are smiling and whipping 'yes' votes" to secure passage of the newly announced debt ceiling compromise.
Boebert, who has been vocal in her opposition to the deal reached between President Joe Biden and Speaker Kevin McCarthy, said last week that the Biden administration's vow to "fight hate" and antisemitism equated to a promise that they are "going after" conservatives. On Tuesday, she said Democrats who were previously upset about a potential deal are now invigorated by details before them.

"Last week Democrats threatened to 'take to the streets' if Republicans secured spending cuts for American Families," Boebert said in a tweet. "This week, those same Democrats are smiling and whipping more 'yes' votes from their colleagues.
Boebert's opposition to the deal comes as U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has described it as a "sh-t sandwich" that she is likely going to vote for. Greene added that she cares more about the "dessert," which is impeachment.
