Scalise says inflation hits people hardest in cities and towns like this one. That’s why it is one of the top priorities for House Republicans to address if they take control of the House in November. “It’s incredibly important for us to listen to families that we represent, who are struggling, and then go bring those concerns back to Washington and pass bills that fix their problems,” he said.
The immediate reaction from the House Democrats was swift, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and every other Democrat immediately calling it an “extreme MAGA agenda.”
“It shows how out of touch she is with average Americans,” said Scalise, “because those are the big complaints I hear when I go to communities all across the country. So I’m not sure what group of people she’s hanging out with, but if she thinks it’s extremist to lower inflation and to lower energy prices and to have parents being more involved in their kids’ education, then maybe she’s so out of touch that it’s time for her to be fired as speaker of the House. I think the country’s going to have a big say in November.” …
Scalise said that, as Republicans, they just can’t release a document and not stand by it if they win; in fact, he says he expects voters to hold their feet to the fire on all of these issues.
