Why are Republicans returning to the House after vacation?
Welcome back Republicans to the House of Representatives. You remember that's the place where you're supposed to work when you're elected to Congress. I know you've been taking vacations at Mar-a-Lago or in Doral while the American people are suffering right now as Americans can't afford homes while an unlawful war is being waged in Iran while people are being screwed over here in the United States by Trump and his Epstein class. But Time to get back to work, MAGA Republicans. And boy, oh boy, did MAGA Republicans get a rude awakening on the House floor when they tested out their Mar-a-Lago talking points. And Democrats just let them have it. This is what happens when you become so disconnected from the people.
When you're hanging out with Donald Trump talking about which type of marble or onyx do you want in the golden ballroom versus how can we deliver health care to the American people? How can we help people get great educations? How can we help people get jobs with dignity where they can afford homes? Yes. That ain't what you're talking about at the Mar-a-Lago Country Club, is it? So watch what goes down where you have people like MAGA Republican Congresswoman Virginia Fox. And she's like, I hear a lot of Democrats talking about the fact that wealthy people don't pay all that much taxes. But when you think about it, it's really the working class people who are screwing us all over because on the whole,
they pay less taxes than the wealthy people. Even when we give the wealthy people loopholes, they still end up paying more. So it's the workers who are really the ones getting rich and making off like bandits. If you're like Ben, you're telling me a MAGA Republicans basically saying that, and I'm telling you is a MAGA Republican. And I'll say, play the dang clip. Let's play it. I wasn't going to say anything during one minutes today, but, I really get irritated when people stand up on this floor and tell half truths to the American people. One of our colleagues just talked about the fact that wealthy people pay small percentages of their income on taxes. But what he didn't say is they pay over 50 percent of all the taxes paid in this country and that working class people don't pay nearly as much as they do.
So don't buy the empty rhetoric of congressional Democrats. There you have it. Then MAGA Republican Virginia Fox is like, look, look, look, OK. I understand it.
What rude awakening did MAGA Republicans face on the House floor?
Yeah, gas jumped a little bit in the last month. You know, we're in a war right now, but you know what? It is half the price, right? Or maybe even less than half the price now as when Biden was in office, wasn't it? No, I think Biden, when Biden left, the average was $3.11. Now it's approaching $4. You just can't make up everything and attack Biden in every one of your sentences. Donald Trump's in office. Right now, things are far less affordable. Under Biden, things were being brought under control based on the mess and massacre Donald Trump left the first time.
How are Democrats responding to GOP talking points?
In any event, here's MAGA Republican Virginia Fox here. Play this clip. Thank you, Madam Speaker. I will point out to my colleague that, yes, gas jumped in the last month, but it's still a lot less expensive than it was under President Biden. Thankfully, under President Trump, gas prices were cut almost in half. Let's talk about Democratic Congress member McGovern. Because when he gets on that house floor, it's like watching an all-star basketball player in their prime slam dunk on these MAGA fools. So McGovern hears what Virginia Fox is saying and he's like, really? Those are the talking points you're going with? And so he goes, I heard the gentle lady, Ms. Fox, Congresswoman Fox, I heard her speech saying that these tax cuts for the rich are really actually unfair for the rich because they still pay more and that the workers are the ones who are screwing over everybody.
Watch what Congress member, Democratic Congress member McGovern says. Here, play this clip. And I heard the gentlelady's one-minute speech before we got into this debate in which she kind of defended the tax cuts for the rich and basically said we don't, you know, we have a spending problem in this country.
