Hakeem Jeffries: ‘One or Two Puppet Masters’ Weighed In and Extreme MAGA Republicans Decided To Do the Bidding of the Wealthy

EXCERPT:

JEFFRIES: “A bill that House Republicans negotiated. Gave us your word that we were going to move forward together on behalf of the American people. It was a Republican-drafted bill that was posted by House Republicans. And then one or two puppet masters weigh in and the extreme MAGA Republicans decide to do the bidding of the wealthy, the well off, the well-connected millionaires and billionaires, not working-class people all across America. The bill that is before us today is just part of an effort to shut down the government unless we as representatives of the American people bend to the will of just a handful of millionaires and billionaires, because the provisions in this bill, particularly as it relates to suspending the debt ceiling for two years, are designed to bring about a massive tax cut, unpaid for, for wealthy donors and for wealthy corporations, for millionaires and billionaires who clearly some in this Congress are working for.”
