Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz of Florida used his time at Thursdays House Oversight Committee to slam Republicans for resurrecting their failed impeachment investigation of former President Joe Biden as a distraction from years of unfulfilled promises.
"So I want to do the don't listen to what they say, watch what they do. Moskowitz said. They said they would lower food costs. They said they would take us into the Golden Age. They said they would end the war in Ukraine and Gaza. They said they wouldn't touch Medicaid. They said they would lower interest rates. They said they would lower our debt. They said they would release the Epstein files.
The biggest one, my favorite, they said they would make [the] government more efficient, he added. "Name one department, one government serviceanything that the government does that they made more efficient? Certainly not the Newark airport. Definitely not FEMA."
Moskowitzs righteous rebuke came just hours after President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing his administration to investigate Biden, using the fallacious conspiracy theory that Biden wasnt mentally fit during his presidency. Biden himself has noted that Trumps obsession with him conveniently aligns with the GOPs deepening divisions over their One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, which would throw millions off health insurance and add trillions to the deficit.
Moskowitzs skillful breakdown of the GOPs unkept promises highlights the conservative movements ongoing failures. Trumps ill-conceived tariffs have only driven up costs, the exact opposite of his campaign promises to lower grocery prices. Trumps need to ingratiate himself with Russian Dictator Vladimir Putin has not only embarrassed the U.S. but also jeopardized its relationship with foreign allies, while failing to end a single conflict.
