'Get Lost!' Dem Rips Republicans Apart Over Garland Contempt Effort
Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) torched House Republicans after Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) demanded a vote on her resolution to hold AG Merrick Garland in “inherent contempt” of Congress and fine him $10,000 for each day he refuses to turn over audio from President Biden’s interview with Robert Hur.
Luna, like all the rest of the MAGA cultists, does nothing but look for conspiracy dirt on their political rivals.
MCGOVERN: Mr. Speaker, this is a stupid resolution.
Republican leadership knows this is a stupid resolution.
Their own members know this is a stupid resolution, but they're beholden to the craziest MAGA members in their conference.
And so, this is what we get.
Stupid resolutions on the floor because they're too chicken to stand up to the extremism in their own party.
The Attorney General turned over the exact transcripts of the interviews that Republicans demanded.
But that wasn't good enough.
Because this isn't about a dispute over a recording.
Let's be real.
Republicans want to get these recordings because they think the RNC can use them in attack ads.
This is Republicans weaponizing the government to go after their political opponents.
And it is sick.
It is sick.
The hypocrisy on the other side is stunning.
It takes my breath away, Mr. Speaker.
Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry all ignored Congressional subpoenas.
I go right down the list.
