Democrats are giving Republicans a lot to run on in 2022, according to Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., on Newsmax TV.
Emmer, the National Republican Congressional Committee Chair, appeared on Tuesday’s “Spicer & Co.” to discuss how the GOP plans to regain a majority in the House.
“This new Socialist left has taken over the Democrat Party my grandfather loved,” Emmer told co-hosts Sean Spicer and Lyndsay Keith. “And they are all about bigger and bigger government, and more and more regulations.
“Republicans stand for the American people, and the right to self-determine to be the best you can be without government getting in your way.”
Emmer was asked about H.R. 1, what Democrats have termed the “For the People Act,” and how it will set up commissions to take redistricting decisions out of states’ hands.
“They want to control this from the federal government,” he said. “They want to federalize our state-based system.
“When your agenda does not fit with mainstream America, when your defund the police and socialized medicine agenda has been flatly rejected by the American voters, the only way you can possibly skew this in your favor is by changing the election laws and federalizing so you can control them from Washington.”
Emmer said Republicans will have many other policies to point to during the ‘22 election cycle.
“Obviously, when you killed the Keystone Pipeline, the 11,000 great paying jobs that was supporting, great American jobs. When you sign a moratorium on fracking on federal lands. The two actions together cost a billion dollars in tax revenue and a million American jobs,” he said.
“And the COVID relief package wasn’t a COVID relief package at all. Ninety-one percent of it was to everything but COVID.”
