It's evident to most Americans that so far House Republicans' only function has been to appease the MAGA base by setting up grievance committees for vengeance.
January 28, 2023

In a new CNN poll released today, 73% of all Americans say that House Republicans do not have the right priorities for Americans.

Not that that should surprise anyone since the focus of House Republicans has not been on helping the American people but focusing on petty squabbles within their ranks exemplified by the battle to become speaker. And unceremoniously making Hunter Biden's laptop their number one priority.

"It's been three weeks, John, since the republicans took over the House -- most of that first week was just about getting Kevin McCarthy elected Speaker, but when we asked Americans in our brand-new poll whether or House Republican leaders have the right priorities, nearly three-quarters of Americans, 73% say, no, they do not."

"46% of republican and Republican-leaning independents in this poll agree with the majority of the public at large. They don't think that Republican leaders in Congress are on the right priorities."

House Republicans only function has been to appease the MAGA base by setting up grievance committees like the HUAC under Joseph McCarthy, to attack all law enforcement agencies, companies, and people that tried to hold Trump accountable.

And of course, also rewarding Christian nationalists, white supremacists, and outright insurrectionists with plum committee assignments.
