Approval level of journalists is also not very high, I\u2019ll give you that.

So let\u2019s have that discussion. You want to bring up Santos, and let\u2019s talk about the institution itself, because I agree wholeheartedly that Congress is broken. And I think you- I think your listeners or viewers should understand what proxy voting was because it never took place because it never took place in Congress before.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MARGARET BRENNAN: I\u2019m asking you about George Santos.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>SPEAKER MCCARTHY: I know you asked me a question. Let me ask you\u2013<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>MARGARET BRENNAN: Because you could put it to a vote to try to oust him\u2013<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>SPEAKER MCCARTHY: You asked me a question. I\u2019d appreciate if you let me answer. So let\u2019s go through this because it\u2019s not one simple answer. Congress is broken based upon what has transpired in the last Congress. The American public wasn\u2019t able to come in to see us. People voted by proxy, meaning you didn\u2019t have to show up for work, Bills didn\u2019t go- have to go through committee. So what I\u2019m trying to do is open the people\u2019s house back for the people so their voices there- so people are held accountable. So now, as I just had in the last week, for the first time in seven years, every member got to vote.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) mocked Rep.
