I partially agree with Kevin McCarthy

Today he complained that there will be prime time hearings on the Insurrection, but none on inflation, gas prices or anything the GOP sees as harmful to Biden.

We should have hearings on the Insurrection, and after that, let’s have prime time hearings on gas prices, inflation etc. Let’s bring Big Oil CEOs in to face Katie Porter. Let’s bring the baby formula manufacturers in to ask about their contingency plans to manage shutdowns due to emergencies or, as recently occurred, FDA violations. Let’s bring in big Pharma to face questions on insulin prices.

I could go on, but I say let’s take McCarthy up on his suggestion. Have prime time hearings on these issues.

Hearings have already happened. Anyone who wanted to could see it all on CSPAN and some coverage on some cable news outlets.

Let's ask Kevin why his caucus voted AGAINST funding the baby formula crisis, and why they voted against the energy price gouging bill.

Got any answers there, Kev?

No. I didn't think so.

Do not play the same game as McCarthy and the GOP
