“I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, our presence today, this unserious legislation, even all the yelling across the aisle and the straying off topic, they all underscore a contrast: Democrats whip up hysteria; Republicans show up to work. They call a Saturday session, supposedly because of an emergency. Republicans are here, but about 70 Democrats don't show up. And that has been the pattern all summer: Republicans come to work; Democrats dial it in, sometimes from the fishing boat. They say the virus keeps them from congregating to work, but they encourage the throng outside the Postmaster General's personal residence. Or consider Representative Grijalva: not at work today, but joined a postal union protest 4 days ago. They can congregate to whip up hysteria, just not to work. Now, Louis DeJoy is showing up to work. Testifying yesterday, he calmly debunked apocryphal tales about blue collection boxes and sorting machines. Monday, he testifies before the House Oversight and Reform Committee, but Democrats fan hysteria today without waiting for facts, even though they don't show up. Let's drop the hysteria. Let's all show up to work. Americans need our help.”
