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, Rep. Chris Pappas had this to say about Rep. Santos: “Mr. Santos should step down immediately. The LGBTQ+ community and the people of New York’s Third Congressional District deserve better.”

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 Rep. Pappas call on Rep. Cuellar to resign?” – NRCC Spokeswoman Savannah Viar
