LEADER JEFFRIES: "REPUBLICANS ARE FOCUSED ON EXTREMISM, CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND BENDING THE KNEE TO DONALD TRUMP"
Press Conference
Good morning everyone. This week has once again put in stark contrast for the American people the fact that House Democrats are continuing to work to solve the challenges that the American people confront, in terms of their economic well-being, their future and the ability to achieve the American dream, as compared with the extreme MAGA Republicans, who are simply trying to jam their right-wing ideology and their conspiracy theories and their fealty to the twice-impeached former president down the throats of the American people.
House Democrats will continue to put People Over Politics to fight for lower costs, better-paying jobs, safer communities, reproductive freedom, defend democracy, confront the gun violence epidemic and build an economy that grows the middle class. We're focused on an economy that works for everyday Americans, build upon the progress that President Biden has led and grows the middle class. Republicans are focused on their extremism and their conspiracy theories and bending the knee to Donald Trump. House Republicans have no agenda, no vision, no plan to deal with the economy, job creation, health care, gun safety or anything that matters to the American people. And that's what this week once again shows.
Instead, they're peddling conspiracy theories before the Judiciary Committee, the Oversight chairperson is totally out of control and unhinged. They're obsessed with Adam Schiff. First, they kick him off the Intel Committee. Then they try to fine him $16 million. That fails. Donald Trump threatens to primary them, and they immediately respond to the puppet master by bringing a censure resolution back to the floor of the House of Representatives. Today, Extreme MAGA Republicans want to impeach Joe Biden. You can't make this stuff up. Their extremism continues to be on full display. And they are doing nothing, nothing, nothing to enhance the health, the safety or the economic well-being of the American people.
