Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Rep. James Comer (R-KY) railed against providing Washington, D.C. statehood. The House this week will vote on whether to Washington, D.C. a state.
Comer said the vote is a “Democrat political power grab to create two new Democrat Senate seats.” He warned the power shift would allow Democrats to end the filibuster and pass “liberal progressive legislation.”
“They shouldn’t be a state because our founding fathers made it clear they wanted the capital city to be independent of any states,” Comer advised. “Washington, D.C. is the best-represented city in America in Congress. Each member of Congress spends half their year in Washington, D.C. If Washington, D.C., needs something, then the members of Congress will make sure of it. Plus, the 23rd Amendment gives Washington, D.C., three Electoral College votes in the presidential election. So, pound for pound, Washington, D.C. has more input than any major city in America on presidential elections.”
He added, “This vote this week on making Washington, D.C. the 51st state is about one thing: creating two new Democrat Senate seats. That’s all.
Yup, and it will become the next pyongyang…they already have the fence and standing army.
It’s time to hunt democrats down … we no longer have a functional government and it’s time to forcibly take them out
The Constitution will have to be changed because it specifically stated the Capital of the Unites States shall not be a stated in order to maintain an area of political neutrality.
