Boehner tells House repubs "No Deal" Cantor tells them "Stand strong and fight"

[cali]

On Saturday morning, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told House Republicans in a closed meeting that there is no deal to reopen the government and hike the debt ceiling, and no negotiations going on with the White House, according to two sources present.

Majority leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said: “Senate Republicans need to stand strong and fight,” according to a source in the room. Several Republicans in the room said the process to reopen the government and hike the debt is at a standstill.

On Thursday afternoon, Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) submitted a framework to President Barack Obama that would set up budget talks, while opening the government and increasing the debt limit. Obama rejected the House GOP proposal — which would replace sequester cuts with some entitlement changes — though both sides are continuing to talk. House GOP aides said Obama wants to increase revenue as part of the plan.
