House Democrat Rips Speaker Johnson’s ‘Lack of Understanding’ On Basic Functions of Congress
"Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) accused House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) of having a “lack of understanding” of the way Congress worked when he pushed for a $14 billion aid package to Israel to be paid for by cutting money meant to strengthen the Internal Revenue Service.
“The bipartisan Congressional Budget Office says that would actually increase the deficit by losing billions of dollars in unpaid tax revenue that would otherwise have been collected,” MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell said. “Instead, Democrats are backing the president’s $106 billion request that includes, among other things, aid to Israel and Ukraine, as well as the border.”
Mitchell continued, “Today’s standalone bill was dead on arrival in the Senate. So, is this — this is delaying getting the aid to anybody. Do you think that it’ll then come back from the Senate with Ukraine put back in, and the House will be forced to vote on a compromise package?” Mitchell asked Sherrill."
