#shorts On 1/10/2023, On the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said, ““So, those IRS agents would be set up to go after hardworking families across this country. Frankly, what we need is more Border Patrol agents securing America’s border, not IRS agents going after hardworking families in America. And so, we passed that bill, and we’re going to pass more good bills this week.”
On the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, Scalise said, “You’re going to see us today set up the Select Subcommittee on China to finally confront the challenge that is one of the greatest threats to our nation. And that is what the Chinese Communist Party has been doing all around the globe, making challenges to our country and other countries around the world.”
On the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Scalise said, “We’re going to set up that Church Committee to look at some of these federal agencies that are weaponizing government to go after families across this country based on their political views. That’s not what government should be doing. We’re going to be looking into that as well.”
On the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act: “We’re going to pass the Born-Alive Act. This bill we talked about a long time [ago]. In fact, every Republican was a co-sponsor of this bill last Congress, and [former Speaker] Pelosi wouldn’t bring it up to a vote, and in our first full week, we’re going to actually bring that bill up for a vote.”
Steve Scalise (R-La.) joined Republican Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Congressman Michael Cloud (R-Texas), Congressman Adrian Smith (R-Neb.), and Congressman Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) at today’s leadership press conference to discuss how House Republicans are working to make Congress more accountable and accessible to the American people. Leader Scalise highlighted how the House of Representatives successfully passed the Rules Package, which will create a more open legislative process that will allow Republicans to address the crises that Democrats have created. Additionally, Leader Scalise emphasized that House Republicans’ first major accomplishment was to repeal the planned hiring of 87,000 IRS agents by President Biden and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi to audit low-income and middle class families.
