A new report from CNN reveals that Republican lawmakers from swing districts are getting increasingly fed up with their colleagues' insistence on pushing them to vote right-wing messaging bills that have no chance of becoming law.
According to CNN, GOP hardliners such as Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) have been trying to force votes on measures such as impeaching President Joe Biden that would require the votes of Republicans from districts that Biden won in 2020 to pass.
One anonymous GOP member fumed to CNN that the MAGA Republicans are going outside of regular order to push their bills, which is a clear violation of a pledge they made to voters last year.
"All of a sudden they throw a temper tantrum and don’t care if it goes through the regular order process they fought for,” they said. “It’s becoming quite clear the hypocrisy.”

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) also expressed skepticism about the political wisdom of focusing on impeaching Biden at this time.
"I am concerned,” he said. “One witch hunt for another witch hunt makes this place all about witch hunts. Meanwhile, the American public are focused putting food on the table, keeping their kids safe in schools, keeping inflation down. Real issues."
Boebert, however, isn't backing down in the slightest.
"If I don’t see accountability taking place with Joe Biden in a timely manner – and no, I don’t have a date, deadline – but if I see that this has been slow rolled and nothing is moving on it, then there’s always the option to bring up another privileged resolution and call to impeach Joe Biden," she said this week.
