Scott Votes to Prevent Further GOP Chaos
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Bobby Scott (VA-03) issued the following statement after voting to table a motion to vacate the Office of Speaker of the House of Representatives offered by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-04):
“House Republicans have lurched from one crisis to the next during the 118th Congress. Today, I joined approximately 85% of House Democrats and 95% of House Republicans to quickly end Congresswoman Greene’s latest political stunt. House Republicans have already delivered the American people an ousted speaker, weeks of chaos to elect a new speaker, expulsion and censure of members of Congress, ill-conceived impeachment efforts, and brinksmanship around the debt ceiling and funding the government. Today’s vote was not an endorsement of Mike Johnson as Speaker, but rather a vote to prevent another chaotic episode from being inflicted on the American people by the extreme MAGA Republicans. We need to get back to doing the people’s business to invest in education, lower costs for families, create jobs and safer communities.”
