Jim McGovern: ‘All the Congress, and this President Seem to Worry About Are the Well Connected, the Epstein Class if You Will’

‘What the hell is going on in Washington’

EXCERPT:

MCGOVERN: “I mean, look at the polls. The majority of American people think you’re driving this economy into a ditch. I mean, people told me this last week when I was, you know, when I was going throughout my district, what the hell is going on in Washington? Because all you see, all the Congress and this president seems to care about are the well off and the well connected, the Epstein class, if you will. The people who have lots of money. The big corporations, they get protected, they get tax breaks. They get all the benefits and the rest of the people in this country get screwed. They’re sick of it. That’s why you’re losing so miserably in the polls. People have had it. And to come onto this floor and defend not only this lousy economy, but to defend this rotten process, I mean, I got to tell you, I’ve heard a lot. I mean, this is indefensible. This is indefensible.”
