Majority Whip Tom Emmer today discussed House Republicans’ efforts to bring conservative common sense back to Congress with votes this week to denounce socialism in all its forms, move the federal government away from its perpetual COVID state, end the vaccine mandate on health care workers, and force career bureaucrats to come back to work. Whip Emmer also noted the White House’s inadequate response to House Republicans’ legislation on ending the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency. Despite saying “the pandemic is over” in September 2022, Joe Biden is waiting until May 11 to end the authoritarian policies Democrats have used to attack Americans’ personal freedoms under the guise of COVID-19

Read Whip Emmer’s remarks below:

“Last week, House Republicans passed the Strategic Production Response Act to counteract Joe Biden’s reckless abuse of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve. In the first open rule held on the House floor since 2015, House Republicans came together. We stood united against Democrat poison pill amendments, and we won over and over and over again. This was a critical moment to deliver on a key tenet of our platform – American energy security. And this week, we are going to continue winning. We’re going to continue winning for the American people who elected this Republican House Majority. We are denouncing socialism in all its forms. And we are moving the federal government away from its perpetual COVID state, giving health care workers more freedom and forcing career bureaucrats to start showing up to work again. By the way, I don’t know if anyone noticed, but the White House is now responding directly to the House Republicans. They responded yesterday saying they’re going to end their COVID pandemic declaration in May. That’s too late by the way. They’re taking notice. Everybody else should too. House Republicans are going to keep winning, and we’re just getting started.”
