It's led to bitter feelings on both sides of the standoff – and in some cases, toward both parties.
"America did not vote for Congress paternity proxy voting at home. America did not vote for Congress to put a lid on the week on a Tuesday," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., wrote on X on Wednesday morning. "I'm pretty disgusted with the events of yesterday. Republicans should not be joining with Democrats for their own personal agendas, and we shouldn't quit and go home when things don't go our way."
Republicans who were against Luna's push accused her of acting against the will of the House GOP majority and the country.
"I don't think most Americans want their Congress members voting from home. Our constituents have to show up to work, and we should too," Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, told "The Ingraham Angle."
Johnson accused Luna and her allies of delaying Trump's agenda.
Luna, however, has pointed out that Johnson could have stripped the provision killing her measure out of the "rule" and held the vote again, when it likely would have passed.
"I am 100% supportive of [President Donald Trump] and his America First agenda. It is disingenuous for [Johnson] to lie about me," Luna wrote on X in response to the speaker's comments. "[House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Johnson] did not have to send us home."
Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Ind., appeared to defend Johnson's decision to end the week.
"What I would say is, the speaker has a responsibility, and he is engaging in that responsibility to protect the institutions from proxy voting," Houchin said. "I support that, and we'll continue to have these conversations and hope that we'll come back together next week, and we'll get back to business."

"Nothing has changed. I like Anna Paulina Luna. I just don't like proxy voting. I think that opens Pandora's Box," Norman said. "We didn't come up with any solutions today, but I think we'll come up with something."

If Johnson decides to strip out the discharge petition language from the "rule," the measure will have to be debated and advanced out of the House Rules Committee again.
He said little to Fox News when asked about the standoff on Wednesday.
"We'll work through it. We've already begun that process today," Johnson said. He added that "another rule" will be moved "early next week."
