On Tuesday, Reps. Mike Johnson (R-La.), Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.), Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.) and Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) discussed the myriad of issues brought on by the Democrats and Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Johnson of Louisiana kicked off the presser by outlining the litany of problems the Democrats\u2019 polices have created. He then turned the podium over to Congresswoman Bice of Oklahoma, who expanded on his comments in more detail.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201c[Democrats] answer to stalled jobs, rising inflation, a humanitarian crisis, and a foreign policy crisis is more abortion and trillions more in big government spending.\u201d \u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepMikeJohnson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepMikeJohnson<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4OMskAFHZS\">pic.twitter.com\/4OMskAFHZS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 House Republicans (@HouseGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HouseGOP\/status\/1440492795622526976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She went on to address the Democrats\u2019 Women\u2019s Health Protection Act or what Republicans have been referring to as \u201cabortion on demand.\u201d She pointed out that the measure is operated on a false premise of what the majority of Americans believe.<\/p>\n<p>Then Congressman Gallagher brought up the deterioration of America\u2019s influence on the world stage. He also touched on the Biden administration\u2019s decision to turn to the Taliban as a security partner in the Middle East, despite their decades-long track record of terror attacks and violence.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cAmericans do not support abortion with no limits.\u201d \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepBice?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@RepBice<\/a> on the House Democrat\u2019s Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SQNST2d3TA\">pic.twitter.com\/SQNST2d3TA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 House Republicans (@HouseGOP) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HouseGOP\/status\/1440416291727175685?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally, Congressman from Louisiana and Minority Whip Scalise looked at the root cause of all of the issues, pointing to the poor decisions made during Biden\u2019s first days in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn day one, Biden killed the Keystone Pipeline, destroyed thousands of American jobs, and then turns around weeks later and approves a Russian pipeline.\u201d Scalise continued on to discuss the crisis at the southern border under Biden. \u201cDay one, [Biden] stops completion of the wall that President Trump was building that was actually working, gets rid of the Remain in Mexico policy, which stopped the flow of illegals coming into our country by the thousands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, with Republicans and Democrats back in Washington, clashes over policy are likely to continue as competing legislative agendas attempt to push the priorities of their respective parties before the next recess in early October.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/house-democrats-pass-bill-to-fund-govt-lift-debt-ceiling\/\">House Democrats Pass Bill To Lift Debt Ceiling, Fund Govt.<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
