North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones didn’t just oppose Friday’s $1.1 trillion budget deal by voting against it, he brandished a sword in his congressional office Thursday night to cut through the 2,000-page document, expressing disdain for what he later called on Twitter a win for “the Washington Establishment” and loss for “the people.”
On Friday morning, about an hour before the House vote on the budget legislation, Jones put photos up on Twitter of himself preparing to slice into the “omnibus” document at his desk with a sword. The tweets said, “Something is rotten ... in Washington, DC,” and “Spent last night cutting through 2,000 pages of words, words, words.”
The photos also show Jones wearing gloves and a surgical mask on his face while handling papers that appear to be from the legislative document.
