Asked about Donald Trump meeting with congressional Republicans on Capitol Hill Thursday, House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar said at a Wednesday press conference that this is another example of the House GOP “bending the knee” to the former president and that he “wouldn’t put this in the category of being very surprising.”
“This is just another, you know, example of House Republicans bending the knee to Donald Trump,” the California Democrat said to reporters. “He wants them to impeach Joe Biden. They failed at that. Now they’re moving on to [Attorney General] Merrick Garland. You know, censures, impeachments. I mean, that’s just how dysfunctional the House Republican conference is.”
“So, it’s no stranger that they’re asking their leader to come talk to them,” Aguilar continued. “They will do whatever he asks them to do. That’s been very clear,” Aguilar continued. “I wouldn’t put this in the category of being very surprising.”
“It’s nothing that we’re invited to,” he added. “So, we’ll let them do what they’re gonna do.
