Hoyer Statement on GOP Speaker Election
WASHINGTON, DC - House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today:
“Leader McCarthy’s announcement is yet another reflection of Republicans’ deep divisions and dysfunction. With Speaker Boehner resigning last month and Leader Cantor losing his primary election last year, this is just the latest chapter in the history of an extreme wing of the Republican party controlling their conference. As a result of their divisions and their efforts to disrupt Congress’s work, we’ve experienced a government shutdown, a near-default on our debt, and too many missed opportunities to grow our economy and support job creation. Today’s news is yet another sign that Republicans are unfit to lead the House and our country and that they will continue to prevent the House from achieving progress. It’s bad news for the American people who expect Congress to get things done on their behalf.”
