Moskowitz Sarcastically Rattles off Republican ‘Accomplishments’ in Hearing: These ‘May Never Be Repeated in Another Congress’

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) mocked his Republican counterparts on Wednesday over their “accomplishments” since taking control of the House last year.

In a meeting of the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) criticized the GOP majority for helming one of the least productive Congresses in recent memory.

Moskowitz responded by “disagreeing” with Crockett before listing several “accomplishments” of the 118th Congress. These included the removal of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the expulsion of Rep. George Santos (R-NY), the failed impeachment of President Joe Biden, and other actions (or lack thereof) taken by the House.

“It’s a little awkward when you want to disagree with someone on your side of the aisle, but I have to dramatically disagree with my colleague, Ms. Crockett, who used data and statistics and facts to claim that this is the least productive Congress in modern history,” Moskowitz began, adding:

First of all, this Congress removed the speaker, ok? Which has never happened in the history of the republic. That’s clearly some– that’s a big accomplishment in the 118th.

This Congress took 15 rounds to even elect that speaker that they then removed, right? Which was historic it’s in its own right.

And then they removed a member of their own party. That hadn’t happened in 20 years. So kudos, to them.

They’ve had a failed impeachment of a president. I don’t think we’ve seen that happen in a really long time.

This Congress did impeach a cabinet secretary, though, without meeting any constitutional threshold. We haven’t seen that happen in 150 years.

This Congress wants to hold Merrick Garland in contempt and then possibly arrest him. I don’t think we’ve ever seen that in the history of the republic.

We’ve seen a failed motion to vacate to remove a second speaker. Again, history in the 118th.

And who could forget that this Congress, on behalf of the American people, saved gas stoves and ovens and toasters and blenders and dishwashers from the communist grip of energy standards?

So, I think Ms. Crockett was pointing out that this is the least productive. These seem to be accomplishments on behalf of the American people that are clearly historic and may never be repeated in another Congress.

Through March, the 118th Congress had enacted 42 bills that became law. That paltry figure is the smallest since at least the 101st Congress, which convened between 1989 and 1991.
