Dr. Chhoda analyzes key comments from Stephen Scalise – United States House of Representatives Minority Whip and representative for Louisiana’s 1st congressional district, serving since 2008.

KEY COMMENTS FROM CONGRESSMAN SCALISE:

Interesting how the speaker has been trying to literally hold hostages for families and businesses.

When it comes to this continuing desire to get and we’re not talking about enough money to keep the post office running, their revenues have actually been up since the pandemic. She’s been trying to get about $75 billion, and keep in mind, their total budget is about that amount for the entire year.

So she’s been trying to make a money grab for a long time, well before the pandemic. She’s just once again trying to take advantage of a crisis. The post office is delivering the mail. If every American voted by mail, it would represent maybe a 2% increase over what they did just in June of this year. So this isn’t about whether or not the post office can deliver the mail. That’s that’s going to be taken care of regardless. It’s about Nancy Pelosi just trying to grab more money and leveraging and holding families hostage and businesses hostage during this pandemic.
