GOP Rep Whines About 99-Page Bill, Gets Schooled With Simple Math

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) drew ridicule after he whined on Fox News about not having enough time to read the 99-page bill that President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) thrashed out to suspend the national debt limit and avert a U.S. default.

“We ought to have a lot more time,” Norman grumbled to Fox News’ John Roberts on Tuesday after parroting a right-wing talking point about comments once made by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that are frequently taken out of context.

Norman, who in January 2021 infamously demanded former President Donald Trump declare martial law to stop Joe Biden from taking office, also complained about the debt deal bill being sent out for review over the Memorial Day weekend.

“But he is giving you 72 hours to consider it before you are asked to vote on it,” Roberts told Norman.

72 hours to be dumb is not enough. I want to be dumb like Trump and Ron Johnson.
