56:01Now PlayingUS News: Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) delivered a fiery floor speech during a House debate, blasting Republicans and U.S. President Donald Trump over what he described as “shady backroom deals,” internal chaos, and attacks on democracy. The heated exchange came during a debate over a procedural rule tied to the E15 fuel bill and the Farm Bill.
During the speech, McGovern argued Republicans were wasting House floor time trying to undo their own legislative strategy and slammed what he called “shady backroom deals falling apart because Republican leadership can’t keep its word.” He also attacked Republican redistricting efforts, saying, “Instead of earning votes, they’re rigging maps. Instead of persuading people, they’re silencing them.”
McGovern warned that recent court rulings and redistricting fights threaten voting rights protections across the country, declaring: “We are not going back to the days of Jim Crow.” He added that Republicans “are bad at governing because they do not actually believe in governing,” accusing the GOP of prioritizing power and political theatrics over solving problems for Americans.
The debate centered on legislation involving year-round E15 fuel sales, energy policy, agricultural priorities, and broader political fights inside Congress.
