On 12/2/2021, Freshman Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) riled up Small Business Committee Chair Rep. Nydia Velázquez, a Democrat, when he criticized President Joe Biden’s knowledge of the private sector, emphasizing Biden’s lack of experience with small businesses and the private sector more largely. After Velázquez warned Donalds he was allegedly violating the quorum, the GOP representative insisted he did not “trash” the president, but was merely “speaking facts.”

Donalds told Isabella Casillas Guzman, who serves as the administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), that she has far more experience in the private sector than Biden, illustrating why he believes child tax credits and government handouts will not help small business owners staff their establishments, particularly at a time when help is hard to come by. After Donalds told Guzman that Biden has never “worked a day in his life” outside Washington, Velázquez scolded the Republican.

“Madam chair, the president has never worked in our economy,” Donalds told Velázquez in response. “Those are facts. … That’s the truth of the matter. He has never worked a day in the economy; he’s always worked in Washington, D.C. To point out that fact, to illustrate the fact that we’re talking about major economic policy that impacts the 31 million small business owners in our country is not [violating] the quorum.” “I didn’t trash the man, I’m speaking facts,” he added.
