Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) blasted his Republican colleagues during a House Rules Committee meeting on Thursday.
The committee met to discuss four pieces of legislation at a pivotal time for House Republicans. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has threatened to file a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
“This is the most ineffective, incompetent majority, I think, in American history. Full stop. It has been nearly an entire year, an entire year almost, since anything that we have done in the Rules Committee has gone to the president’s desk,” McGovern, the ranking member of the Rules Committee, said.
“And the last time it did happen, it was with Democratic votes,” he added.
