WTH is Wrong with Congress? Rep. Fitzpatrick Explains

It has been over 20 days since the House of Representatives
ousted, and then successively failed to re-elect, a speaker of
the House. The dysfunction could not be coming at a worse time:
war in Europe, war in the Middle East, rising danger in the
Pacific. Budgets are not getting passed, much less additional aid
packages for Ukraine and Israel. The House cannot even convene to
condemn the Hamas terrorists – what the hell is wrong with our
country? One infuriating piece of information from our podcast
today: a large portion of representatives voting against aid to
Ukraine are “voting no, hoping yes,” an indication that
partisanship has truly eroded the very fabric and efficacy of
government. America desperately needs intellectual consistency,
good-faith politics, and honesty. How can we right this sinking
ship?


Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick represents Pennsylvania’s first
district. In the 118th Congress, Congressman Fitzpatrick sits on
the Ways and Means Committee and House Permanent Select Committee
on Intelligence. In addition, he co-chairs the bipartisan Problem
Solvers Caucus and Congressional Ukraine Caucus, while also
serving on the Bipartisan Addiction and Mental Health Task Force
and NATO Parliamentary Assembly. Prior to serving Congress, he
was an FBI Special Agent and a Federal Prosecutor.
