Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., on Wednesday called the upcoming vote on the continuing resolution with the SAVE Act attached “unserious” and “insincere.”

“We are told today that we’re going to vote on a continuing resolution with another bright, shiny object attached to it,” Massie said during the general speeches portion on the House floor. “I feel like this legislation is insincere and unserious.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced Tuesday that the House would be voting on a continuing resolution with the SAVE Act attached to it. 

The SAVE Act requires proof of citizenship to vote in elections. The House passed the SAVE Act in July with five Democrats voting in support of it. 

Some Republicans have already come out and said they wouldn’t support it, arguing a continuing resolution doesn’t responsibly fund the government. 

“It’s unserious because we’re cramming all government spending into one bill and instead of deciding what to spend it on. We’re saying, ‘let’s just spend at least as much as we spent last year and not worry about any of these bills through committee or debating how much we should spend on those things,'” Massie said. 

He then referred to the vote for the continuing resolution and the SAVE Act as a “fake fight.”
