Newsmax’s Eric Bolling Blasts House Republicans: ‘They Cannot Govern’
Republicans took some friendly fire from Newsmax host Eric Bolling, who said the GOP-controlled House of Representatives “cannot govern.”
Bolling slammed the Republicans who voted to expel former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) in December after the lawmaker was federally indicted for fraud and was found to have lied about much of his life story. In Tuesday’s special election to succeed him in New York’s third congressional district, Democrat Tom Suozzi flipped the seat by defeating Republican nominee Mazi Pilip by eight points. As a result, Republicans now hold an even narrower 219 to 213 majority in the lower chamber.
On Wednesday’s edition of The Balance, Bolling aired a clip of a CNN reporter explaining that she spoke with Donald Trump voters in New York’s third who told her they liked Suozzi’s message of “bipartisanship” and were put off by “the fact that House Republicans have really struggled to pass legislation over the last couple of weeks.”
“‘Republicans can’t govern,’ the New York voters claim,” Bolling said, echoing the report. “They have a point. Look at our southern border disaster and foreign aid funding. Completely off the charts. Recently, Americans are fed up with Republicans – not for political reasons, but because they cannot govern.”
House Republicans have had a whale of a time (not) passing major legislation of late. Earlier this month, House GOP leadership said that a bipartisan Senate bill to address the border and immigration would be “dead on arrival” in the House after Trump urged them not to pass it. This week, the House seems poised to tank an aid package for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine.
“Democrats are better at calculating political outcomes and make their decisions based on those calculations,” Bolling continued. “While the GOP dumped its ethically-challenged representative, the Democrats are standing firmly behind Robert Menendez, who keeps gold bars in the sleeves of his jackets in his closet.”
