GOP Rep. Rogers: Pelosi’s Select Coronavirus Committee ‘Going to Come Back to Bite’ Democrats

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier this month established a so-called select committee with the stated purpose of conducting oversight over the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. In an interview with “The Jeff Poor Show” on Huntsville, AL radio’s WVNN on Wednesday, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL), the ranking Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee, said the committee was not necessary given the already-existing oversight elements of the CARES Act.

Jeff Sessions: We’ve Got to Stand Up to the ‘China Lobby’

Many are willing to acknowledge from this point forward that Mainland China should be held accountable for its inaction and lack of transparency in dealing with the initial stages of the spread of the COVID-19/coronavirus but should we hold those accountable that allowed for China to practice risky behaviors up until this point?

GOP Rep. Aderholt: I Think the American People Want Trump ‘to Set a Tone of Optimism’

Although it is the prerogative of some in the media to be critical of President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, the president still has support from many Republicans on Capitol Hill.

Jeff Sessions: Senate Republicans Have Shifted on Trade Because of Donald Trump

That orthodoxy had paved the way for trade agreements over the years, especially at times when Republicans were in control of the U.S. Senate. However, it has also been one of which former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been critical.
