The speaker let colleagues know that the House will instead “work its will,” in considering the package, said a person familiar with the private remarks and granted anonymity to discuss them.

I especially liked the subtle dig from the AP here, putting Johnson’s full hypocrisy on display in one beautiful sentence.
Johnson, who rejected a border security compromise that was eventually stripped from the final product, said the Senate’s package “does nothing” to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, which has been the GOP’s priority.

Going by his timeline, we would probably still be waiting to fund the Korean War of the 50s.
