Rep. Matt Rosendale, a Republican from Montana, released a statement Sunday evening signaling he would vote against the "Fiscal Responsibility Act," the debt ceiling deal released to the public earlier in the day by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. 

Rosendale said the proposal, which he called the "Fiscal Irresponsibility Act," failed to rein in federal spending. He also said lawmakers who support the bill are insulting the American people.

"The D.C. Swamp has proposed the largest debt ceiling increase in our nation’s history, adding $4 trillion to the existing $31 trillion national debt," said Rosendale. "The Fiscal Irresponsibility Act fails to cut spending and continues to fund the Democrats’ and Biden Administration’s radical agenda." 

He added: "It is frankly an insult to the American people to support a piece of legislation that continues to put our country’s financial future at risk. Montanans did not send me to Washington to support business as usual, which is why I will be voting AGAINST the Fiscal Irresponsibility Act."

The House released the 99-page deal in its entirety Sunday evening.

Rosendale’s office said in a statement that the lawmaker voted in favor of the initial Republican debt ceiling proposal, the "Limit, Save, Grow Act," which passed the House of Representatives on April 26.

Rosendale said the initial Republican-supported bill was written to "create economic growth while minimizing the damaging inflationary consequences of reckless spending."

He also joined his Republican colleagues in writing a letter to McCarthy urging core elements of the bill are kept in place amid negotiations with President Biden on a new deal.

"The United States is $31 trillion in debt – the House Republican plan is a great start to addressing this crisis," Rosendale said in April after HR 2811 passed the House. "For far too long, Congress has been kicking the can down the road and allowing deficit spending to spiral out of control."

"This comprehensive plan will fund the federal government responsibly and remove barriers to growing the economy while protecting Social Security, Medicare, and veterans’ benefits. The spending habits of Washington politicians and bureaucrats must change to secure our nation’s financial future," he added at the time.

"We must shrink Washington to grow America," Rosendale concluded.

Rosendale is the first House Republican to openly say he will vote against the "Fiscal Responsibility Act." Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, of Colorado, has also expressed some dissatisfaction with the bill.

The House will vote on the debt ceiling deal on Wednesday – giving members time to read the bill and the Senate time to consider it before June 5, which is the date Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the U.S. could default on its debt obligations.

Speaking at the Seattle Public Library on Saturday, actor-writer Kirk Cameron encountered a small group of protesters who objected to his pro-faith, pro-family and pro-country messages during his children's book event, with one individual hoisting a large sign that said, "You are growing to be a real pain — you know that."

The sign's message and lettering was a play on "Growing Pains," the TV sitcom in which Cameron first came to fame as a young actor.

Cameron told Fox News Digital in a message on Sunday, "One nostalgic protester — protesting a book about humility? — lugged a huge sandwich board that said that I was ‘growing to be a real pain.’ Nicely played, sir!" added Cameron.

The protesters who showed up, however, were largely overwhelmed by the many supportive parents, children and families who came out to see him and hear him. 

Coach Joe Kennedy of Bremerton, Washington, joined him as well. 

Said Cameron about his latest public library book-focused event, "In the city most famous for coffee and grunge music, we were awakened with a joyful song of gratitude from hundreds of parents and kids at the Seattle Public Library."

He added, "My new children’s book, ‘Pride Comes Before The Fall,’ was a huge hit and the kids instantly understood the importance of its main lesson: Always be humble and kind."

He said he "was especially struck by the parents who said, ‘Thank you for coming to Seattle — where people forget there are good, God-loving and patriotic families.’"

Cameron's new book is out June 1 from Brave Books.

He told Fox News Digital a few days ago in a phone interview, "With a nation that is so saturated with the idea that pride is a good thing, the Bible warns us that pride is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins. Before greed, gluttony, sloth, wrath, envy and lust – is pride."

It's "the mother vice that gives birth to all the other dangerous things on the list," he said.

And so "I want to teach children the importance of being humble and kind" through this new book.

It is his second children's book, after "As You Grow," which was a bestseller.

Other books that address the other seven deadly sins are also being planned, he said.

At the Seattle event, Coach Kennedy told the assembled families that a game plan for life included, "Love God and love this country," according to Brave Books.

Kennedy, a native of Washington, also "shared his humble story of faith," Cameron said, "then reminded the kids to always do the right thing and consider others more important" than themselves.

Added Cameron, "Thank you, Seattle!"

Since late last year, Cameron has been traveling to public libraries all over the country to meet with families and deliver his patriotic and faith-filled messages as he reads from his books.

He's been joined by special guests at many of the events.

He has more events planned as part of this tour, especially as the new book comes out.

"Humility is the road to blessing," he also said recently to Fox News Digital. 

"With a nation that is perpetuating this idea that it's good to be full of pride — especially this coming month, as we see signs that celebrate pride all over the place — we have to warn children that it's humility that will lead to the good life, not pride," he noted.
