Whip Emmer: “These days, anti-Trump temper tantrums seem to be the Democrat party’s M.O. Instead of helping us, the Republicans in the House, the president in the White House, and the majority in the Senate, instead of helping us secure our border, cut taxes, and make life more affordable for the American people, Democrats have shown time and time again that they’re more interested in opposing President Trump and his successful agenda at every turn. But their obstruction and partisan games will not deter our efforts to deliver countless wins for the American people. This week, House Republicans are returning to Washington with a packed agenda—full of promises kept. Where the Biden administration and climate alarmists stifled our nation’s energy production and caused prices to skyrocket, House Republicans and President Trump are restoring America’s energy security and ensuring affordability. Where Democrats put violent criminals above innocent Americans, Republicans are ensuring our communities are safe from dangerous offenders. And where Democrats chase headlines and mislead the public, Republicans are actually pursuing transparency and justice. The contrast is clear. Republicans govern. Democrats obstruct. We already passed the largest middle-class tax cut in American history—with absolutely no help from Democrats—and that was just the beginning. Now, as you see, that we’re back from this needless, ridiculous shutdown caused by Democrats, we’re moving full-steam ahead to make up for the days that they have taken away with their delusional shutdown.”
