The fact that there’s a whole lot of foolishness that routinely takes place on the House floor means there is rarely a dull moment. That has been exactly how things have played out over the last week between the vote to reopen the government and the Democrat yada yadaing over releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files
As RedState reported earlier, the House indeed voted Tuesday to release the files in a 427-1 vote, with the sole dissenter being Rep. Clay Higgins (LA-03). The Senate passed it via unanimous consent.
Relatedly, Rep. Jamie Raskin (MD-08) defended Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI) texting with convicted sexual predator Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing by suggesting Epstein was merely a random constituent of hers at the time.
“They’ve arraigned a Democratic member for taking a phone call from her constituent, Jeffrey Epstein, in the middle of a hearing. And of course I don’t think there’s any rule here against taking phone calls in a hearing,” Raskin insultingly proclaimed.
