Congressional Republicans Can Run, But They Can’t Hide from Answering Critical Questions about Their Support for Gutting Critical Services and Launching Sham Investigations
WASHINGTON, D.C. — As Congressional Republicans are home in their districts for summer recess, they face angry constituents demanding answers about their support for Trump’s disastrous agenda. Americans deserve answers about why Republicans support gutting health care, cutting children’s school meal programs, and pushing a draconian and unpopular immigration agenda instead of helping the people they serve. To add insult to injury, Congressional Republicans continue to waste time and taxpayer money launching sham investigations attacking nonprofits and civil society organizations instead of addressing real problems.
Republicans seem determined to obfuscate at every turn, avoiding town halls and failing to answer critical questions that constituents deserve answers on. Americans deserve to know: Will they continue wasting time on frivolous investigations targeting the very organizations that help people in their districts, or will they finally start representing the people who sent them to Washington?
Here are three questions Congressional Republicans need to answer about their attacks on civil society and support for gutting programs Americans depend on:
- Why are you wasting taxpayer dollars investigating nonprofits that feed the hungry and shelter the homeless while voting to strip health care from tens of thousands of your own constituents, and how many more constituents have to suffer while you chase conspiracy theories pushed by hate groups?
- How do you justify the double standard of attacking Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue while completely ignoring systematic violations by Republican platform WinRed, which facilitated illegal foreign donations during the 2024 election—why should voters trust your investigations when you won’t investigate your own party’s campaign finance scandals?
- Why are you avoiding accountability to the people who elected you by canceling town halls, adjourning Congress early to dodge the Epstein scandal, and hiding from constituents who are demanding answers about your votes? When will you show up and face the voters instead of running from them?
