“Now that you are getting into substance, on Monday, you passed a bill designed to allow the wealthy, the well-off, and the well-connected to cheat on their taxes, to subsidize the lifestyles of the rich and shameless benefit millionaires and billionaires,” Hakeem Jeffries continued. “Not working-class families, not middle-class families, not low-income families, not veterans, not everyday Americans, the wealthy, the well-off, and the well-connected. That was on Monday.”
“And on Tuesday, you come to the floor, and you pass a select committee on insurrection protection,” Jeffries continued. “A committee that is clearly designed, in the words of some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, to obstruct justice as part of your evident desire, as many of you have said, to eventually defund the FBI. That was Tuesday.”
“And now, on Wednesday, you come to the floor,” Jeffries said. “Nothing on inflation, nothing on quality of life issues for the American people, nothing even on public safety. But you come to the floor as part of your march to criminalize abortion care, to impose a nationwide ban, to set into motion government-mandated pregnancies. So that’s the distinction for today.”
