Jodey Arrington: “Democrat leadership has established in this piece of legislation a new pandemic protocol for the United States Congress…”

“Democrat leadership has established in this piece of legislation a new pandemic protocol for the United States Congress: the practice of reality distancing. Reality distancing is the unhealthy distance between politicians and their policies and the people they were elected to serve. While tens of millions of working families have lost their livelihoods and millions more are struggling to survive, Members of Congress won't miss a single paycheck and are wasting precious time on a partisan bill that is going nowhere. Furthermore, Speaker Pelosi and many of her colleagues are so anxious to appease the left, and so zealous to advance their ideology, they didn't even attempt to disguise this parade of horribles that is completely out of touch with the American people. Some will suggest, Mr. Speaker, that this legislation is so extreme and absurd we can't take it seriously. I would submit that we can't take it seriously enough. When someone tells you who they are, believe them. This isn't just the Democrats' plan for America's recovery; this is their vision for America. I oppose it, and I pray to God none of these policies see the light of day.”
