Rachel Maddow rips ‘repellent’ Congress for giving itself two more months off

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow tore into both houses of Congress on Thursday for voting to take another break just as the country’s engagement in another armed conflict is about to escalate.

“There’s a reason the American public finds this Congress repellent,” she said. “There’s a reason why this Congress has the lowest approval ratings in the history of Congress and in the spectrum of all major institutions in our country.”

As The Verge reported, legislators were allowed to leave the Capitol — only eight work days after returning from a five-week summer recess — and will not have to go back to work for another 54 days, until after the November midterm elections.

“It’s not like there’s anything going on they ought to be interested in, right?” Maddow asked sarcastically.
