Democrat Humiliated Republican Colleagues By Rattling Off Pathetic List Of Their "Accomplishments"

Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz absolutely humiliated his Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives this week when he sarcastically read off a list of their "accomplishments" since taking over the House in early 2023. Those accomplishments included ousting their own Speaker, removing George Santos, and really not much else. Moskowitz's point is strong, and this is the type of attack that Democrats need to be leveling against Republicans between now and election day, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

During a meeting on the House Oversight Committee this week, Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett took a few moments to call out her Republican colleagues for presiding over the least productive congressional session in American history. It is a real true to life do nothing Congress, as last year alone, they only passed 22 pieces of legislation, the fewest we have ever seen in a single year in Congress in the history of Congress. But after Representative Crockett was done speaking, Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz, again on the same team, right? He actually decided to speak and say that he disagreed with his Democratic colleague and said that these Republicans have actually done quite a few things. But of course, he was speaking sarcastically. And here are the so-called accomplishments that Moskowitz says Republicans have earned in the last year and a half.

It's a little awkward when you want to disagree with someone on your side of the aisle, but I have to dramatically disagree with my colleague, Ms. Crockett, who used data and statistics and facts to claim that this is the least productive Congress in modern history. First of all, this Congress removed the speaker, okay. Which has never happened in the history of the Republic. That's clearly, that's a big accomplishment in the 118th Congress, he said. This Congress took 15 rounds to even elect that speaker when they then removed him, right? Which that was historic in its own right, he said. And then they removed a member of their own party. That hadn't happened in 20 years. So kudos to them, he said. They've had a failed impeachment of a president. I don't think we've seen that happen in a really long time. This Congress did impeach a cabinet secretary though, without meeting any constitutional threshold, we haven't seen that happen in 150 years. This Congress wants to hold Merrick Garland in contempt and then possibly arrest him.

I don't think we've ever seen that in the history of the Republic, Moskowitz continued. We've seen a failed motion to vacate, to remove a second speaker, again, history in the 118th. And who could forget that this Congress on behalf of the American people saved gas stoves and ovens and toasters and blenders and dishwashers from the communist grip of energy standards? So I think Ms. Crockett was pointing out that this is the least productive. These seem to be accomplishments on behalf of the American people that are clearly historic and may never be repeated in another Congress. So Moskowitz was of course, not actually disagreeing with Jasmine Crockett. He just kind of wanted to hammer the point home a little bit more to talk about the stupid stuff that Republicans have focused on instead of, of course, passing actual legislation. Of being, as I've said repeatedly, they have pushed us to the brink of five different government shutdowns in, what would that be, 17 months? 17 months, five different near government shutdowns.

Some of them literally averted with only hours to spare. So I would also include that in your list of accomplishments, Representative Moskowitz, because that is also historic. We have never seen that happen before, and unfortunately we may see it happen more before the end of this year. But this is what the Republicans are focusing on.
