How are Democratic lawmakers exposing GOP arguments on the House floor?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
MAGA Republican Congress members getting beat down on Capitol Hill. You can tell why they didn't want to show back up and why they want to get the hell back home. Democratic Congress members like Nagoose, Congressmember Raskin, Congressmember McGovern, and others were leading the charge, exposing these MAGA Republican Congress members for the utter hypocrists and Trump sick of. Bootlickers that they are. I want you to watch as Democratic Congress member Nagus in the Rules Committee expertly cross-examine these MAGA Republican Congress members, showing that they and Donald Trump are the communist authoritarians from within. Here, play this clip.
Joe Neguse 0:44
So now that uh cutting about five minutes of my question there. So going back to you, Mr. Styles. Socialism. Owning the means of production, right? That's a piece of it, yeah. Okay. What would you call the Trump Administration? Acquiring. A ten percent equity stake in intel. A fifteen percent stake in rare earth producer MP materials, and a ten percent stake in lithium Americas and tril trilogy meals metals,
Unknown 1:11
excuse me. It's an American first policy to make sure we cannot compete China. Do you believe that the government should own grocery stores? Uh no. That would be socialist to you? I think that would be a type of overreach of the federal government, absolutely. Would that be socialist to you? That'd be a former socialism, yeah.
Joe Neguse 1:28
Okay. And if Donald Trump announces tomorrow that he's gonna take a twenty percent equity stake in Kroger. Would that be socialism to you?
Unknown 1:35
I'd want to see the details of the five. Oh you'd want to see the details. No, but understand the undercover. For for the folks watching at home, watch the sleight of hand. Sleight Slight of hand?
Joe Neguse 1:48
of hand. I'm asking a honest question. I but that would you said if government owns grocery stores, that would be socialist. But if of course Donald Trump were to announce an equity stake in a grocery store, well I'd have to really see the details because we all know the play, Mr Style. If I mention anybody else but Donald Trump, we would see it a different way. It's
Ben Meiselas 2:11
Then we heard from Democratic Congress member Jamie Raskin on the House floor, and he again exposed Donald Trump for being the number one cheerleader for communist authoritarians around the globe.
Jamie Raskin 2:27
Try to answer the interesting questions raised by my distinguished colleague, Mr. Jordan in Syriatum. First of all, uh anything that we do to try to improve the fortunes and the well being of the American people, our colleagues call socialist. They call it social security socialist, they call Medicare socialists, they call Medicaid socialists.

What did Rep. Jamie Raskin say about MAGA Republicans supporting a Supreme Court amendment?

Jamie Raskin 2:45
So that's just water off our back. The president talks about communists, the only communists on earth today. Are his best friends and his role models, like Kim Jong-un, who he writes love letters to, and President Xi, who he's praised more than two dozen times in public. And so, but just I'll come to you in a second. Uh, how about Vladimir Putin, who he follows around like a puppy dog? Vladimir Putin was head of the KGB. So if there's a problem with communism, it's over on that side of the aisle. Now

Back to Democratic Congress member Nagus in the Rules Committee. This was another pitch perfect cross-examination in the Rules Committee of these MAGA Republican Congress members. He explained how look, we've been out of session for a very long time. MAGA Mike Johnson has put Congress in recess. And I've heard from my constituents that their biggest issue is the cost of living. Things are not affordable. Right now, people are suffering and struggling as a result of this catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. People are worried about AI, that data centers will be put in their backyards. People are feeling this Trump authoritarianism everywhere and they hate it. But for MAGA Republican Congress members, the big push when you got back on Capitol Hill was to delay or block protections.

For the North Atlantic right whale? That's what your number one priority is? Watch Democratic Congress member Nagus expose these MAGA Congress member fools play this clip.
