Asking your lawmakers your political questions at your US Capitol.
Who?
Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) — Vice Ranking Member, House Judiciary Committee
Ask a Pol asks:
Are Republicans hypocrites for hammering Democrats on socialism while the Trump administration takes equity stakes in private companies like Intel?
Key Balint:
“He’s using the words, you know, “socialism,” “communism,” “leftist” as rhetoric against us — and yet there are so many things happening in this administration that to any, like, sober outside observer would be like, that actually smacks of socialism,” Rep. Becca Balint exclusively tells Ask a Pol Politics. “It’s an interesting paradox.”
