Final yr, we handed the American Rescue Plan that has helped to create 7.4 million jobs in 13 months, essentially the most in US historical past.

I don’t know, however I do know that two of them attended a white nationalist convention final month. Let me now inform you all the actions that Republican leaders took towards these two Republican members who attended and spoke at a white nationalist convention final month. (Silence).”
Rep. Lieu was right. Kevin McCarthy and the Home Republican management have finished nothing to punish Reps. Greene and Gosar for attending and talking at a white nationalist convention.
Mitch McConnell, who isn’t even within the Home, had a stronger statement against Greene and Gosar than Kevin McCarthy who referred to as it unacceptable however didn’t denounce white supremacy or his two members.
Each motion that Kevin McCarthy takes or chooses not take exhibits his weak point. McCarthy is afraid to confront Greene and Gosar as a result of they’re allies of Trump, and they could deny him the speakership if Republicans take back the House in November.
By doing nothing, McCarthy is signaling his help for racism and white supremacy within the Republican Celebration.
