Rep. Jim Jordan (Republican-Ohio) slams Democrats' priorities on the House floor.

 

Jim while addressing the House said:

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding Mr. speaker's record crime, record inflation, record gas prices, a record number of illegal immigrants crossing our southern border, and what are democrats doing today? Legalizing drugs and using American TAX dollars to kick start and prop up the Marijuana Industry. Wow, such a deal for the American people!

Record every major urban area has increased crime, and democrats are legalizing drugs and propping up the marijuana industry. 40-year high inflation hasn't been this high since 1982 we have some members not even born and i mean record inflation and Democrats are focusing on legalizing drugs and kick-starting the marijuana industry.

Record gas prices 6 dollar gas in California 4 dollar gas everywhere else and democrats are legalizing drugs and helping the Marijuana in his Marijuana Industry. And of course, 2 million illegal immigrants crossed our southern border in the last 14 months and democrats are legalizing drugs and helping the cannabis industry.

By the way and we have a Justice Department, that is treating parents as domestic terrorists spying on moms and dads who simply show up at school board meetings. We know that's going on putting a threat tag label on parents. This designation, this label moms and dads simply standing up for their kids, and democrats are focused on legalizing drugs and helping the cannabis industry.

The Democrat majority leader said why are we dealing with this today? 

They're dealing with this today because they can't deal with the real problems facing the American people who left won't let them. Do you think the left's going to let them do what needs to be done to bring down gas prices? 

We sat in a hearing a few months ago, one of our democrat colleagues in that hearing we had the CEOs of the oil and gas companies went down the line and said will you pledge today to decrease production they want less oil and gas I (Jim Jordan) asked after it got done literally you went down the list I said what do you want 8 dollar gas and the truth is they do so they can the left will not let the democrats do what needs to be done to help the inflation problem, the energy problem, the illegal immigration problem on the southern border. So what do they do, they legalize drugs.

Everybody knows it let's focus on the things that matter as the majority leader said for middle-class families who are having to drive to work to pick their kids up at school, take their kids to little league practice spending four and five bucks a gallon to get them there and back let's focus on the things that matter I urge a no vote and you'll back the balance of my time, Jim ended his remarks in the house.
