I have a great team to break this down. First, i want to explain whats going on. Speaker pelican has never be has never called for President Trump to be impeached, taking a wait and see tattitude. Monday she said its time for the party to stop focusing on the president and put its focus back on whats good for the country. Listen. Im saying we are for the people. Lower Health Care Costs by Building Infrastructure for america and cleaner government by passing hr1. Thats our agenda. Thats our focus to take our eye off that ball is not worth it.
