House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) on Monday called on House Democrats to hold a hearing on what they said was President Biden's failed handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The letter, sent as Congress is set to begin a legislative year likely to be defined by the midterm elections, shows Republicans believe they can use the pandemic and Biden's handling of it to go on offense in November.

"President Biden's first year in office was one full of broken promises. He promised to 'shut down the virus.' He promised 'by next Christmas [2021]...I think that there'll be significantly fewer people having to be socially distanced [and] have to wear masks...' He promised to 'improve the availability of tests.' He promised to not 'demand that [the vaccine] be mandatory.' And he promised he had a national plan to 'get this virus under control,'" Scalise and Comer wrote in their letter to House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.).

"He failed on all accounts," they wrote.

You guys are sniffing each other's farts.

[Budi]

1. Not The Onion?

[certainot]

38. no, same as usual, 1500 coordinated radio stations.....

since dems ignore it, our only hope to avoid the national unchallenged repetition reaching 50 mil a week without challenge that will establish biden caused millions of pandemic deaths is that limbaugh rots and they're starting to fall apart

[captain queeg]

2. OMG these assholes have no bottom.

[Skittles]

3. first witness: DONALD FUCKING TRUMP

these people are the biggest fucking hypocrites on the planet

[Alexander Of Assyria]

28. Bottle of Javex in hand was the GOP response...we all remember despite mass media

Amnesia Flu. It’s an epidemic of deflection.

[gab13by13]

4. Why post this stuff from The Hill?

It just gives a platform to right wing narratives.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. To know what absurdity the GOP is pushing

If it's not The Hill it'll be another source. Need to be aware.

[NullTuples]

17. Exactly right; THIS is likely the story much of the media will run with

[gab13by13]

18. I've known for the past 3 months what they are pushing,

they are pushing that president Biden is failing, and it is pure right wing propaganda.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

29. Yes. Pushing and pushing until rags like Hill push it into the willing and lazy corporate media.

[monkeyman1]

33. " BANNON FLAPPING HIS CHEEKS AGAIN " !

[blue sky at night]

42. this

jesus just put the keyboard away and go for a walk...so sick of hearing every fucking word out of their mouths repeated here! thanks for saying what I have been thinking for years.

[LaMouffette]

5. While at the same time, they've been fighting mask mandates and vaccine mandates . . . !

Yup. They are showing their game plan:

1. Do everything possible to prolong the pandemic.
2. Repeat "Biden's Failed Covid Response" 1,000,000 times between now and Election Day in November.

[paleotn]

6. Yea, well, whatever.

That's some awfully thin soup.

[NJCher]

43. Thin gruel

Eom

[Ford_Prefect]

7. It's the yearly straw man argument they'll use to try and stir their base. Voters who think COVID is

either a hoax or a Liberal plot to steal their freedumbs. It's like the one they used last year about how Democrats and Biden/Harris were closing schools to keep their kids at home and wreck the economy.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. True that

Most people are masking up and getting vaccinated.

Problem for the GOP is their base may be killing themselves.

Go Darwin!

[Ford_Prefect]

11. They'll spend the next 9 months fundraising off of this lie and use it every time someone else

has a bill open for discussion in the house rather than do any real legislative work.

Think of it as Benghazi redux.

[FloridaBlues]

10. And so the drumbeat starts. I suspect it will get much worse in the coming months. Dems get ready

[HUAJIAO]

24. I think DEMS shouldn't just get ready, they should punch back right now, and hard,

and repeatedly...

[Ponietz]

30. as any decent, self-respecting bodhisattva warrior should

RICO this scum already.
🥋

[chowder66]

12. Guess what? It will pull some voters away from us because it taps into their anger.

And man am I sick of how easy it is to tickle peoples anger-dicks to get them to lose all sense of perspective.

[OAITW r.2.0]

13. Only if Republicans take control of the House.

Then, it will be Benghazi on steroids. In their fevered minds.

[royable]

14. Go on a killing spree, then blame officials for the high murder rate. n/t

[TeamProg]

15. The GOP is A HOAX

Their:

Leadership - does not exist

Family values - does not exist

Morality - does not exist

Law & order - does not exist

Science awareness - does not exist

Historical knowledge - does not exist

Honor - does not exist

Liberty - does not exist

Accountability - does not exist

Trustworthiness - does not exist

Kindness - does not exist

Civil - does not exist

Loyalty to the U.S. Constitution - does not exist

Sound economics - does not exist

Courage - does not exist

[WVreaper]

16. Benghazi !

[tanyev]

19. They going to investigate all the GOP governors blocking mask and vaccine mandates?

No they will not.

[IronLionZion]

20. They should investigate why their voters oppose vaccines and masks

and chose to prolong this pandemic longer

[iluvtennis]

21. Five minute session to conclude that it's the Covidots who refuse

to get vaccinated and they are overwhelming in the states that tfg “won”

[HUAJIAO]

22. DEMS should punch right back, IMMEDIATELY, and show what lying hypocrites these assholes are !!

[Alpeduez21]

25. What ever could be going on?

Get the vaccine. The End

[burrowowl]

26. What unmitigated gaul!

[andym]

27. Market research by the GOP is top notch for bashing

They must have already tried a variety of themes in test polls to see which work best for bashing Dems and Biden. Right now this must be at the top of the list. Economy must be up there too. The good news is that the Afghanistan exit which is what they were using earlier to bash Biden probably does not poll well anymore.

The good news here is that if Covid is under control and inflation recedes they will have nothing but their culture war attacks, which may not work as well as they like.

[Justice matters.]

31. So their dear fascist leader lied when he said COVID is a HOAX??

Thanks for making that officially clear idiots! (Your dear fascist leader is a liar.)

[yaesu]

32. And I call Bullshit. nt

[Marthe48]

34. r's can f* off so bad

r's are the complete and utter reason 861,000+ Americans are dead. They are the reason there is no mask mandate or vaccine mandate. And they can go screw themselves sideweays.

[BobTheSubgenius]

35. Well, I wish Scalise and Comer the very best of luck.

Remember their PR campaign against TPG's mishandling of same? Inspirational.

[LymphocyteLover]

36. TPG?

[BobTheSubgenius]

47. The Previous Guy.

Perhaps TFG is more well known, and should have been used.

[LymphocyteLover]

48. Thanks! I figured that's what you meant but hadn't heard that expression before

[RussBLib]

37. that's rich

They wanna bring back T**** and his stellar response to Covid.

btw, last time I checked, someone saying they "think" that something will happen is not a promise toake that happen.

GOP just gets worse

[Kali]

39. but it is a hoax

or better yet...if you want to know why things are so shitty, LOOK IN A FUCKING MIRROR, ASSHOLES!!!

[C Moon]

40. Fuck off GOP!

Desantis should be in prison for his murderous response to COVID.
Fucking freaks.

[turbinetree]

41. Okay lets go back to the yesterday years....and the country got this....

I tried to find a shorter version......while his fucking treasonous party sat on there hands and did what...so they can really go pound sand..

[NJCher]

44. World's Biggest Simpleton.

This could very well be the most embarrassing moment of all presidencies.

Bush sr barfing on the Japanese pres would be second.

[turbinetree]

46. And not one of the rat f**kers in the republican caucus called for an investigation....

against this murder....he has over 850,000 deaths on his hands, he made the grade when he said he could stand on 5th avenue and shoot someone and nobody would care, he didn't even have to use a gun.......but he used his malignant narcissistic mentality between his ears to accomplish his mission with his lackey's....I really do despise him and them ....all he does is inflict pain for his enjoyment ..

[NJCher]

49. nothing, no one,

not even the universe can design a hell appropriate enough for trump.

[turbinetree]

50. Agreed ....

[karin_sj]

45. I really shouldn't be surprised

... but I'm at a loss of words for this. Unbelievable.
