All’s Quiet on the Leftward Front

May 6, 2024

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, Mike Levin had this to say about Rep. Santos: “We are doing a disservice to our democracy by allowing George Santos to serve in Congress. The @HouseGop should ask Santos to resign or have Congress vote to expel him” and “We must do all we can to uphold the integrity of our institution.”

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 Mike Levin call on Rep. Cuellar to resign?” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
