House Republicans say that Democrats are out of touch with the country because they refuse to leave Capitol Hill to address national emergencies in the states.
Republicans launched their “Commitment to America” plan outside the Beltway in the last few weeks by hosting hearings in several towns and cities to hear from communities affected by the administration’s border policies.
They covered issues ranging from the flooding of illegal migrants at the border to the fentanyl crisis. Democrats, according to Republicans, however, were no-shows at all the field hearings. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Republicans have focused on the fentanyl crisis “for a long time” and that families and law enforcement are frustrated that Democrats nothing seems to be happening to address the problem.“I think it’s disgraceful that a majority of Democrats refuse to even show up at these hearings. These are full committee hearings — Republican, Democrat,” he said.
In early February, about 50 cars derailed in East Palestine on a train traveling from Madison, Illinois, to Conway, Pennsylvania. The Environmental Protection Agency is at the site, testing the air quality and involved in the site’s cleanup.
