“What a shame,” Democrat Terri Sewell posted on Twitter. “Thanks to Republican infighting, the United States of America lacks a fully formed Congress for the first time in a century.”
While Alabama’s Republicans in the House have largely remained quiet during the five failed votes for speaker of the House, Democrat Terri Sewell called out the GOP caucus in a social media post Wednesday afternoon.
Sewell, whose district includes parts of Birmingham and Tuscaloosa as well as Black Belt counties, did not mince words expressing her frustration following the fifth vote that failed to elect a speaker despite Republicans holding a newly-gained majority in the House. “What a shame,” Sewell posted on Twitter. “Thanks to Republican infighting, the United States of America lacks a fully formed Congress for the first time in a century.”“Any idea when we can put this chaos behind us?” Sewell said. “A lot of us are eager to get to work!!”What a shame. Thanks to Republican infighting, the United States of America lacks a fully formed Congress for the first time in a century.
