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. Susan Wild had this to say about Rep. Santos: “Serving in Congress is a privilege. When a member breaks public trust, it is our duty to hold them accountable. The Ethics Committee’s report speaks for itself: Mr. Santos’ misconduct and illegal activity proves him unworthy of serving the people he represents.”

And here is what she 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 Susan Wild call on Rep. Cuellar to resign?” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella
