‘Bombast’ frustrations plague Republican senior aides on Capitol Hill
OH MY!!!! MORE REPUBLICAN DISARRY!!!
Republican senior congressional aides are considering fleeing Capitol Hill in droves over frustrations with heated rhetoric and representatives who put emphasis on “bombast” over policy, according to a new report and analysis.
The nonprofit Congressional Management Foundation recently published a new report on the poor job satisfaction of senior aides who don’t believe Congress is “functioning as a democratic legislature should.”
“Congress is broken,” the grim introduction reads.
According to the report, “significantly more Republicans (59%) than Democrats (16%) are considering leaving Congress due to ‘heated rhetoric from my party.”
The report is also the subject of a Washington Post analysis published Saturday morning that focuses on the impact of a new culture on Capitol Hill.
“What’s driving this new bout of staff departures is the overall environment,” writes Paul Kane. “That includes pandemic fallout…It also accounts for the ongoing toxicity since the January 2021 attack on the Capitol.”
The majority of the ‘Freedom’ caucus isn’t there to legislate, they think they are on the best reality TV show ever, and are going to chew the scenery every chance they get.
