Democrats joined teabaggers to sink farm bill?

[question everything]

This is from a story about a local Rep

The move came days after the conservative House Freedom Caucus joined Democrats to sink the farm bill after trying to negotiate an immigration deal to their liking. The fate of DACA has weighed over Congress since Trump moved to end the program last fall, prompting Republican House members from Florida, Texas and California to gather signatures from their ranks to bypass GOP leadership.

I thought that it was just the Republicans?

1. Democrats were going to vote no anyway due to SNAP cuts

Conservative Republicans disobeyed Ryan and made the difference.

2. Thanks. The old say about strange bedfellows? (nt)

3. Nice spin on their part but not quite true.

Dens voted no because bill was too nasty; the Freedumb Caucus voted no because it wasn't nasty enough.

4. It was a horrible Farm Bill

It deserved to die - doesn't matter at whose hands.

5. Why would we vote to reduce SNAP?

6. So. For those who have not read the Header.

Two things,Star and Tribune is owned by Glenn Taylor,one of the Minnesota GOP's major money Guy's. And the Story comes from Eric Paulsen Third District GOP Congress man who has never had a open town hall in his district since when? Eric needs to be run out of town on a rail.

7. The Farm Bill had horrific cuts to nutrition programs.

Democrats could not abide by that and we're going to vote no anyway. Teabaggers hitched a ride for other reasons.
