On Friday, the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill sailed through the House by a vote of 316-113.
Ninety-five Republicans split with House GOP leadership to vote against the spending bill. Another 150 Republicans supported it, while just 18 Democrats opposed the legislation.
Here is the full list of the Republicans who voted against the spending bill (see the complete roll call vote here):
Abraham Amash Amodei Babin Barletta Black Blackburn Blum Brat Bridenstine Brooks (AL) Buck Byrne Clawson (FL) Crawford DeSantis DesJarlais Duncan (SC) Duncan (TN) Emmer (MN) Farenthold Fleming Forbes Fortenberry Franks (AZ) Garrett Gibbs Gohmert Goodlatte Gosar Gowdy Graves (LA) Griffith Guinta Hardy Harris Heck (NV) Hice, Jody B. Holding Hudson Huelskamp Hultgren Hunter Hurt (VA) Jenkins (KS) Johnson, Sam Jones Jordan Kelly (PA) King (IA) Labrador LaHood LaMalfa Lamborn Lance Latta Long Lummis Marino Massie McClintock McKinley Meadows Meehan Miller (FL) Mooney (WV) Mulvaney Palmer Perry Pompeo Posey Ratcliffe Roby Roe (TN) Rogers (AL) Rohrabacher Rothfus Salmon Sanford Schweikert Shuster Smith (MO) Smith (NE) Smith (TX) Stutzman Tipton Walker Webster (FL) Westerman Whitfield Williams Wittman Yoho Young (IA) Young (IN)
The spending and tax extenders package represented the combined efforts of House Speaker Paul Ryan and Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. After lengthy negotiations, the two hammered out the deal, and then whipped up bipartisan support for the package.
Before the vote, conservatives criticized provisions discovered in the bill and complained about policy riders left out of the legislation.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told The Daily Signal he was disappointed the omnibus didn’t include language bolstering security protocol for Syrian refugees and curbing funding to the abortion provider Planned Parenthood.
“This product is disappointing, very disappointing. Everyone understood the Syrian refugee issue was so winnable,†he said. “When you had a veto proof majority, and to not include it, that makes no sense.â€
Jordan was referring to refugee legislation passed in the House by a vote of 289-137 in November, with 47 Democrats voting for the legislation.
That legislation, however, was not bundled into the omnibus.
Jordan and other conservatives complained about inclusion of provisions that increase the number of foreign guest workers who can qualify for H-2B visas. They also balked at the inclusion of the Cybersecurity Act.
Earlier this week, House Democrats cited their ability to beat back 150 conservative policy riders as a major victory. Additional conservatives amendments submitted to the House Rules Committee were also rejected and kept from the bill.
Since picking up the gavel just six weeks ago, Ryan has instituted a number of changes to return the House to what lawmakers consider regular order—a reform effort applauded by some conservatives.
Lawmakers have been racing to reach a spending deal before the end of the year to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. During that process, Ryan actively sought input from rank-and-file members during listening sessions and policy conferences.

My critter voted for it. I just e-mailed him.
I knew that I would not find my Rep, Tom Price, on that list.
My, soon to be ex-, Congressman, Dennis Ross voted for the B.S.
Either get out there and rum to replace Price or find another conservative, that you KNOW truly is a conservative and run in the Primary in August!
They didn’t oppose it enough, obviously.
Ahh man, my critter in the 24th of Texas (Marchant) voted for thus crap. He’s usually solid but that lard ash is getting a call from me right now.
Dana Rohrabacher and Tom McClintock stood tall. I have done campaign work for both of them. Unfortunately, my own Congressman, Ed Royce, was AWOL.
My formerly useless Rep was on this list. Woohoo!
He really has been pretty good since the Town Hall Summer of 2009. I went to six town hall meetings with hundreds of my new friends that Summer, and I think he got the message.
Tea Party hopeful Love is on the Yea list. Sickening.
My congressman always votes correctly - rock-ribbed conservative Scott Garrett, from the great state of New Jersey. You could melt down my two senators though, and not find trace minerals worth a nickel between them.
“I knew that I would not find my Rep, Tom Price, on that list.”
He is listed under the yeas.
Time for a new conservative political party.
These Whigs represent no one but a few corporatists.
SEVERAL TRAITORS
Mia Love (R-Utah), who was so highly touted by conservatives last year, was also AWOL.
Thanks to the Virginia Republican Reps that voted against it.
I knew Dave Brat would vote NO, but was concerned about Griffith & Goodlatte who are nearby. Thanks also to Wittman, Hurt and Forbes for voting NO.
Two Va Republican sellouts: Comstock & Rigell (RINO’s)
Disgusting backstabber.
