Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida used his time at Thursday’s Home Oversight Committee to slam Republicans for resurrecting their failed impeachment investigation of former President Joe Biden as a distraction from years of unfulfilled guarantees.
“So I want to do the ‘don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do.’” Moskowitz said. “They said they would lower food costs. They said they would take us into the Golden Age. They said they would end the war in Ukraine and Gaza. They said they wouldn’t touch Medicaid. They said they would lower interest rates. They said they would lower our debt. They said they would release the Epstein files. … The biggest one, my favorite, they said they would make [the] government more efficient,” he added. “Identify one division, one authorities service—something that the federal government does that they made extra environment friendly? Actually not the Newark airport. Positively not FEMA.”
Moskowitz’s righteous rebuke got here simply hours after President Donald Trump issued an govt order directing his administration to analyze Biden, utilizing the fallacious conspiracy idea that Biden wasn’t mentally match throughout his presidency. Biden himself has famous that Trump’s obsession with him conveniently aligns with the GOP’s deepening divisions over their “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act,” which might throw thousands and thousands off medical health insurance and add trillions to the deficit.
Moskowitz’s skillful breakdown of the GOP’s unkept guarantees highlights the conservative motion’s ongoing failures. Trump’s ill-conceived tariffs have solely pushed up prices, the precise reverse of his marketing campaign guarantees to decrease grocery costs. Trump’s have to ingratiate himself with Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin has not solely embarrassed the U.S. but additionally jeopardized its relationship with international allies, whereas failing to finish a single battle.
The Republican-led assault on authorities companies has left our aviation security in chaos with delays brought on by understaffing and technical points. On the identical time, it has significantly diminished the federal authorities’s capability to predict and reply to excessive climate occasions that have an effect on thousands and thousands of individuals.
As for the guarantees of releasing billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s case information? It turned out to be only a publicity stunt. Actually, as of the writing of this story, former co-president Elon Musk has ideas concerning the Epstein case information and Trump’s lack of transparency on the matter.
Republicans’ hope to make use of their committee as a distraction from their social gathering’s catastrophic failures to manipulate has been dashed, as Democratic lawmakers make it clear that they’ll now not play their video games.
