Remember when Congressman Cline posted this on Facebook?
You don’t have to think back very far. It was only last week.
Desperate for some tangible achievement as the midterm elections approach, Cline and most other House Republicans joined all Democrats to vote for the ROAD to Housing Act, designed to make housing more affordable for Americans.
The Senate also overwhelmingly approved the measure, and it went to President Trump’s desk Wednesday for a signing ceremony– which Trump abruptly canceled. He demanded that Congress first approve the voter suppression bill known as the Save America Act. Republicans don’t have the votes to pass it in the Senate.
But that’s not all. Trump went on the humiliate Cline and other Republican supporters of the measure by calling it an “Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren centric housing bill,” writing that it is “of minor importance compared to lower interest rates, and even FISA, pales in comparison to passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.”
Warren, one of the main backers of the bill in the Senate, responded: “Huge bipartisan majorities in Congress passed a bill to lower housing costs. But at the 11th hour, Donald Trump is refusing to sign it into law. His policies have made your costs go up — and he doesn’t care.”
And Trump reportedly told House speaker Mike Johnson that “no one gives a [bleep] about housing.”
What do you have to say, Congressman?
