“My colleagues across the aisle have developed a habit of harping about how Republicans are incorrectly addressing the priorities of the American people during the pandemic. This is a bold claim coming from them, seeing as they are the ones being caught playing political games on multiple occasions. Every day, Democrats echo those same fatigued talking points, and you can't help but wonder if they realize that, in fact, they are the ones who have been wasting time all along. Denial is a powerful thing, Mr. Speaker. At a time when the American people demand leadership and accountability from Congress, Democrats have leaned on their political playbook for answers. At this point, are we really surprised? Let's recap what the Democrats have done to date. They have passed the so-called HEROES Act, a $3 trillion socialist wish list that was crafted behind closed doors without bipartisan collaboration. They have undermined 200 years of precedent by implementing proxy voting. They have held virtual hearings where their Members are not physically present in the Capitol, and even one of their Members decided to phone in his vote to the committee while he was on his boat. Now, juxtapose that with the work we have taken up. Republicans have fought for schools to reopen safely. We have placed a high priority on strengthening our Nation's economic recovery, and we have worked tirelessly to support frontline workers.…”
