In accordance with the democrat doctrine of never letting a good crisis go to waste, Majority Whip James Clyburn told his Democrat colleagues last month the coronavirus pandemic was a “tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”
Clyburn wants to use America’s suffering to reshape the landscape into some kind of Socialist paradise.
So it should come as no surprise that Speaker Nancy Pelosi tapped Rep. James Clyburn to lead a House oversight committee to ensure the government’s coronavirus funds are spent “wisely and effectively.”
Via National Review:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) announced Thursday that she is tasking Majority Whip James Clyburn (D., S.C.) to lead a House oversight committee to ensure the government’s coronavirus funds “are spent wisely and effectively.”
“The panel will root out waste, fraud and abuse; it will protect against price-gouging, profiteering and political favoritism,” Pelosi told reporters on a press call. “The fact is, we do need transparency and accountability.”
She later added that the bipartisan committee would have subpoena power to carry out its tasks, and specifically cited the Truman Committee — formed by Congress during World War II to address profiteering and other abuses — as a guide.
“Where there’s money there’s also frequently mischief, and we want to just make sure that the funds that are expended, that are put out there, are done so with the conditions that we had in the legislation,” she said.
Steve Scalise responds:

We already have 8 entities overseeing COVID-19.
But Pelosi wants another committee—led by one of Biden's biggest supporters.
Don't let her tell you otherwise: This is a political scheme to spend more taxpayer money harassing Donald Trump and trying to rig the 2020 election.
She and he are POS.
*** Anti-Trump, all the way. ***
The farmers, ranchers, and truck drivers can send all the blue states to hell in one week. They should maybe be reminded of that sooner than later.
No relation to Van, apparently.....
Hardly.
Dear Lord,
Please make these miserable, detestable RATS pay for all their relentless abuse of power in continual harassment of our great POTUS!! Let us rejoice—FINALLY—in their long overdue comeuppance on November 3, 2020!!
SPJNK.
Our slimeball governor of CA has already been saying this for quite some time. in fact it was posted right here on FR on 4/4/20... “California’s Newsom says coronavirus provides ‘opportunity’ to push progressive agenda” (posted by FReeper Nighthawk)
Words of socialiat globalist tyrant traitors.
By any sane logic they all should be executed.
Laura Ingraham did a good segment, on her show tonight, of all of these leftists saying they’ll use this pandemic as an opportunity to push their globalist/leftist agenda.
Well good on Laura! I will watch and listen to her on U-Tube as I fall asleep tonight. I like most of them Fox people!!!
‘...By any sane logic they all should be executed....”
I think that is what is called a “BINGO!”
Clyburn is a Marxist, racist virus of hatred, ambition and treason.
The perfect POS as Pelosi’s asskisser in chief on this Committee.

On Thursday morning, hours before the House was set to vote on a resolution indirectly condemning controversial remarks from U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Omar met Clyburn in the Capitol with a hug.
“The most warm embrace I’ve ever gotten up here is the one I just got from Omar,” Clyburn, D-S.C., told McClatchy in an interview shortly after the fact. “She recognizes that I am trying to do everything I can to make her journey here a comfortable one. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
“Ilhan Omar lived in a refugee camp. She brings that experience to this body with her. And I think we need to honor and respect that and not beat up on (her).”
House Democratic leaders were originally eying a resolution that would condemn anti-Semitism. It was to be viewed as a rebuke to Omar, who drew outrage last week when she said elected officials were beholden to Israel because of powerful financial interests. The resolution was also intended to quiet criticism from Republicans that Democrats didn’t care about anti-Semitic rhetoric from within their ranks.
However, Clyburn inserted himself quickly into negotiations over the drafting of the measure, working behind the scenes to ensure it would address all kinds of hate and not just hate for Jews.
Clyburn looks like an opportunity for Coronavirus to me!
> Clyburn wants to use America’s suffering to reshape the landscape into some kind of Socialist paradise.
Lines for TP. Lines for bread. Near 30% unemployment.
Sounds like we’re most of the way to that “Socialist Paradise”.
There are already three committees that are bipartisan
Same number of Democrats as Republicans
This one is not.
Seven Democrats and five Republicans.
With Clyborn as the boss, this one is completely a partisan hit squad.
America do we need any more information? TAKE BACK THE HOUSE IN NOVEMBER and lets put these Cretans to rest
