#shorts Chairman of the Oversight Committee GOP Rep. James Comer, said that “President Biden’s unnecessary expansion of telework has crippled the ability of agencies to get their jobs done.”

The chairman claimed that telework has “created massive backlogs” when it comes to veterans, taxes and senior needs.

“Seniors have experienced delays with the Social Security Administration, American taxpayers have struggled to get help from the IRS during tax filing season and veterans have been unable to access the records,” he said.

On 1/31/2021, Comer joined House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), Republican Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), and Congresswoman Laurel Lee (R-Fla.) at today’s leadership press conference to discuss how President Biden caved to House Republicans and announced he will end the Public Health Emergencies. Scalise called out President Biden for waiting until May to end these emergencies and highlighted how House Republicans will be voting on legislation this week. Scalise pointed out that if the American people are expected to show up to work, federal employees should be held to the same standard.
