If Sen. Roger Marshall Represents A Kansas IQ Test, They've Failed Miserably

Senator Roger Marshall made an appearance on this Sunday's Meet the Press, and was asked by guest host Ryan Nobles about Trump refusing to sign a bipartisan housing bill until Congress passed the Republican voter suppression bill known as the SAVE Act. Marshall made a ridiculous analogy while lying about the need for the bill in the first place. Nobles actually did a halfway decent job of pushing back on his nonsense before finally throwing his hands up and moving onto another topic. NOBLES: Senator, we'll get to the SAVE Act in a second. First, I should point out that at this point, wages are not outpacing inflation — that's not correct. But if you insist that the housing crisis is an imminent crisis and need, why wouldn't the president just sign this bill and push that along? Why is it necessary to hold that process up? MARSHALL: Well, Ryan, again to push back — I think real wages are up since President Trump became president. We do have a little blip going on right now, but as gasoline prices come down, inflation is going to come down and wages will get back up. You can't look at just one day, one week, one month. You have to look at the bigger picture right now.read more
