Rep. Jeffries: The Republican Playbook Is To Delay, Deny and Distract

EXCERPT:

JEFFRIES: “Well, the Republican playbook is to delay, deny and distract, and that’s what we saw on full display yesterday on the floor of the House of Representatives. The signature legislative accomplishment that they have achieved when they held power in the previous Congress was to jam a GOP tax scam down the throats of the American people, while 83 percent of the benefits went to the wealthiest 1 percent. They don’t want to talk about that. The administration is currently trying to take away health care protection for more than 130 million Americans who have pre-existing conditions. They don’t want to talk about that. There are currently children being held in cages in inhumane conditions by our government on the U.S./Mexico border, they don’t want to talk about that. So that’s why we saw that abhorrent Republican behavior on the floor.”
