@GOPMajorityWhip , we’re all looking forward to watching you work with Jim Jordan. His performance running the House Judiciary Committee during the last administration was comical at best. Remember that grand impeachment investigation into Joe Biden? Years of accusations, hearings, subpoenas, and political theater, and Jordan couldn’t even produce articles of impeachment for a House vote. If that’s your model for holding people accountable, Democrats should have little trouble showing you how actual congressional oversight works. And since you’re so determined to hold politicians accountable for lying to Americans to get elected, why not start with the convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office? He promised to lower prices immediately. He didn’t. He promised cheaper gasoline. Americans are paying more. He promised to bring grocery prices down. They’re still rising. He repeatedly promised to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. That war continues. He campaigned on keeping America out of new wars, then started one with Iran that’s now in its ninth month. Those are promises he made to the American people, Tommy boy. Where’s your outrage? Where are your demands for accountability? Apparently, breaking campaign promises only bothers you when you imagine Democrats are involved. And your claim that Democrats suddenly decided climate change is their biggest priority is nonsense. Affordability, healthcare, government accountability, and the war dominated the election. Climate change is an important issue, but it wasn’t the centerpiece of the Democratic campaign. You’re arguing against a platform you’ve invented because addressing the actual issues voters cared about would require acknowledging why Republicans lost. As for your outrage over Democrats investigating the convicted felon, apparently someone needs to explain Congress to you. Congressional oversight is a fundamental part of our constitutional system. There’s even a House Oversight Committee, Tommy boy. Investigating government corruption, abuse of power, and executive misconduct is part of its job. Congress can investigate corruption and pass legislation addressing affordability at the same time. It’s called governing, we'llshow you how it's done. And corruption was a major issue in this election. Polling showed that roughly nine in ten voters considered government corruption a major factor in their vote, while the economy and the state of democracy dominated voters’ concerns. The American people weren’t asking Congress to look the other way. They were demanding accountability. And @bennyjohnson, you're absolutely right about one thing. You can't campaign on a populist, nationalist platform promising economic relief and then watch gasoline, mortgage rates, and groceries become more expensive. That's exactly what happened under the convicted felon. Gasoline is up, grocery prices rose again in October, inflation is up, mortgage rates are up. Tommy boy, I'm glad you're so optimistic about what will happen 24 months from now. But the American people just delivered an election result that suggests you have a remarkably poor understanding of what matters to them. You might want to figure that out before lecturing the people who just defeated your party about what winning elections requires. Democrats ran on affordability, accountability, and restoring competent government. Now they have an opportunity to demonstrate all three. Your threats aren't going to change that.
