THE LYING BITCHES OF D.C. - PELOSI, HARRIS AND BRIBES SUCKER JILL BIDEN

Democrat Cindy Axne Calls on Pelosi to Address Inflation After Claiming There Was No Problem

Rep. Cindy Axne, the lone vulnerable congressional Democrat from Iowa, reversed course on inflation Thursday, calling for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to pass legislation addressing the ongoing supply chain problem, which has caused a massive spike in inflation.

Axne joined a group of vulnerable Democrats in a letter calling for the Democrat party leaders in the House to address the ongoing supply chain crisis and spike in inflation by quickly passing legislation. The vulnerable House Democrats wrote that they are “concerned about the ongoing disruptions to our nation’s supply chain, which are causing delays and increasing inflation for our constituents.”

Axne, before trying to appear as a champion on the supply chain crisis, has for months argued that inflation is a “false advertisement”:

In June, when asked if Republicans were wise to warn about inflation if the federal government continued to spend during a live television appearance, Axne said, “we’re not even remotely close to a point to say that we’re at rising inflation, so no, I wouldn’t agree with that.”
In July, during a town hall, she claimed the “economy is on a great track” and talking about inflation is bringing up “false advertisements.”
In September, Axne then claimed that “things will get better day by day” when referring to the rise in gas and food prices.

While this was happening, Axne voted for the American Rescue Plan in February, which former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers said was “poorly targeted and risked overheating the economy,” in addition to research from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco that indicated that passage of the bill played a roll in the rise in prices.

The letter Axne signed onto argued that Congress should act to help families across the country seeing higher prices and touted their passage of the disastrous $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill — which President Biden signed into law — and the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act, also known as the Democrats’ reconciliation infrastructure bill. Axne voted in favor of both of them.

However, the letter, reported by Punchbowl News, appeared not to mention the $1.75 trillion bill that was widely considered to be the “marquee legislation” for Biden’s legislative agenda, would indeed increase taxes on the middle class by “roughly 20 percent to 30 percent” according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center and expand and prolong the effects of inflation. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) revealed that Biden’s “marquee legislation” would add $750 billion to the American deficit over five years.

“After months of falsely claiming inflation wasn’t real and taking votes to worsen the crisis, Cindy Axne is now pretending to care about rising prices by writing meaningless letters,” National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) Spokesman Mike Berg told Breitbart News. “Instead of meaningless letters, Cindy Axne should stop voting like a full-blown socialist.”

Republican candidate for Iowa’s Third Congressional District and state Sen. Zach Nunn (R), who is running against Axne in the midterms next year, told Breitbart News Saturday that Axne is only loyal to Pelosi and not Iowans.

Nunn argued that Axne has never received more than roughly 48 percent of the popular vote during an election, adding that “she’s not even showing up in certain places in Iowa anymore, because she doesn’t have a single friend here but also because she doesn’t care,” indicating that she’s more loyal to Pelosi and the California Democrat donors.

Retiring Democrat Slams Pelosi’s ‘Hostile Work Environment’: It’s Getting Worse

Retiring embattled Democrat Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) “hostile work environment” that is “getting worse,” as other Democrats complain about getting work done after the midterms, if the are in the minority.

After the nineteenth Democrat — Rep. Peter DeFazio — announced his retirement on Wednesday, Kind acknowledged that the atmosphere on Capitol Hill is not the best.

“Let’s face it: The atmosphere in this place — it’s a hostile work environment,” Kind told Politico. “We’ve got members threatening to kill other members and treating each other with such disrespect. …Things seem to be getting worse.”

While Kind talks about a “hostile work environment,” he announced his retirement after months of reporting of unearthed documents showing a company Kind had collected tens of thousands of dollars from in rent is a seedy massage parlor, has a history of soliciting on illicit websites known by police for offering sex.

In addition, the building that houses the seedy parlor business and the massage massage parlor tenants themselves were linked to sex trafficking and prostitution in the past. Breitbart News uncovered newspaper reports from the 1970s and 1980s that showed the building was known by law enforcement as a “house of prostitution.”

Not only have 19 Democrats decided to call it quits on the House officially, but three of the retirees, such as DeFazio, are committee chairs — most of which are in battleground districts. This gives Republicans a chance to gain another seat, as strong Republican candidates are already running in most — if not all — of the 19 districts.

“If you’ve been here a long time, it gets old after a while,” said Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR), who’s been rumored to be eyeing the exit signs himself. “Especially with redistricting and the likelihood of us potentially losing the majority, a lot of folks … are looking at this as the high-water mark.”

House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Rep. Greg Meeks (D-NY) complained to Politico that being in Congress, “especially” with a weak majority wherein Pelosi can not lose more than a handful of votes to pass her partisan agenda items, is “hard.” He said: “I’m a new chair. But I can tell you it’s hard, especially when you have smaller margins, trying to get things done… The climate here has changed.”

Longtime Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) conceded that after the midterms, Congress will not be as “exciting” as it is now, when they are passing partisan agenda items on near party line votes, if the Democrats end up in the minority. He said: “I mean, 2023 is not going to be as exciting as what we’re doing now…Even if we’re still in the majority.”

There are rumors of more Democrats abandoning ship in the coming weeks and months leading up to the midterms. In addition, there have been reports of Pelosi herself contemplating leaving elected office.

Democrats, who have already seen more than triple the number of members retire, have also received low poll numbers and lost to Republicans in generic ballots.

Numerous polls have shown Republicans beating Democrats in a generic ballot leading up to the election when respondents say who they would elect to represent them, as Democrats continue to pass partisan agenda items, such as the infrastructure package and the reconciliation bill. One generic poll from RealClearPolitics showed Republicans leading for the first time since 2014.
