I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

Weren’t the Republicans the party of saving $$$$? Why are we paying them? Get to work you worthless, Republican slouches. Democrats want to get back to work and save healthcare for millions of Americans. By supporting the Democrats you will be supporting democracy.
