GOP Lawmaker Makes ‘Embarrassing’ Admission About The Republican Party
HuffPost
Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, who helped throw the House into chaos in October, is unimpressed with his party’s achievements last year.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) slammed his own party on Thursday, bemoaning its lack of accomplishments in 2023.
“In my opinion, we have nothing to go out there and campaign on, Chris. It’s embarrassing,” Biggs told Newsmax host Chris Salcedo.
“The Republican party and the Congress of the Majority has zero accomplishments,” Salcedo agreed.
Biggs made the remark after he was asked about the House Republican majority’s “complete failures” to pass 12 annual spending bills on time. “How many of those 12 bills have been completed?” Salcedo asked.
“None. None have been completed,” Biggs replied. “There’ve been a few of them. Seven I think have been sent to the Senate from the House. The Senate has not taken up a single one of those bills.”
