DeGette Statement on Republicans’ Political Stunt Resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-01) released the following statement on the House Republicans’ resolution denouncing socialism:

“House Republicans just returned from a seven-week taxpayer-funded recess, and instead of doing anything to lower costs, they are wasting time and money on this pointless resolution. 

“My colleagues on the other side are more focused on performative political stunts like this while families in Denver are seeing health care and groceries get more expensive. This is a precursor to their plan to gut Social Security and Medicare, and I will always fight tooth and nail to protect these essential programs.”
