On the recordFebruary 3, 2021
The last 2 weeks, working-class Americans have faced a great target on their backs from the new President. By the stroke of a pen--47 different executive orders and actions--he has fired hundreds of thousands of American workers. Mr. Speaker, by the stroke of a pen, in the last 2 weeks, the sitting President has fired hundreds of thousands of American workers who are wondering where their next paycheck will come from, who are wondering how they are going to pay their mortgage, who are wondering how they are going to survive in South Dakota, North Dakota, Texas, Wyoming, Colorado. Just because this President was trying to unify his liberal base, he fired hundreds of thousands of American workers. It is war on the working class. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Iowa (Mrs. Hinson), a distinguished journalist.
