All’s Quiet on the Leftward Front

POLITICO recently reported on the numerous House Democrats who have yet to say anything about the recent indictment of Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX-28) despite having quite a bit to say about former Rep. Santos. 

Per POLITICO, “The argument is simple, from their view: Republicans moved to clean house and remove a member of their own party — why won’t Democrats?“ 

As a reminder, Rep. Matt Cartwright had this to say about Rep. Santos: “Santos still hasn’t been found guilty of a crime, but the House Ethics Committee found substantial evidence that Mr. Santos broke federal criminal laws. As a result, a large bipartisan majority has determined he is unfit to serve. I voted with that majority.”

And here is what he said about Rep. Cueller’s recent indictment: *crickets* 

“The House Democrats’ official slogan is ‘people over politics.’ Are they going to subscribe to that or no? Will Matt Cartwright call on Rep. Cuellar to resign?” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
