Anybody heard of the RSC? The Republicasn Steering Committee?

My cousin sent my some BS things from them that is total shit. She thinks the infrastructure plan will tax all small business at 39%. I read a little bit about them a completely repuke committee. I think a lot of this is because she lives in Virginia and they are hitting VA hard because the gov election is next week. My cousin is a trumper. Argh

His product is for the consumption of the worst of the worst, and you have my sympathies.

Those who can't cast a cool, analytical eye and/or laugh and click away should pass.

She tells me to educate myself. This is all true. I told her to educate herself, anything that is 100% one part on purpose is not legit.

House Republican Steering Committee

For House Republicans, the steering committee is chaired by the party leader in the House, either the Speaker (if Republicans are in the majority) or the Minority (Floor) Leader (if Republicans are in the minority). Under rules adopted after the 1994 Republican Revolution, the House party leader (Speaker/Minority Leader) had five votes on the committee, the deputy leader (Majority Leader/Minority Whip) receives 2 votes, and all other members receive 1 vote for a total of 35 votes; a quorum requires 18 members. The current chairman of the Republican Steering Committee is Kevin McCarthy.

The Republican counterpart in the Senate is the Committee on Committees. Senate Republicans also operate a steering committee to discuss policy issues.

It's a group paid to sit around, come up with absolute lies, and then distribute the ;ies to republicans for coordinated talking points.
