GOP Turns Up Pressure On Biden

During a recent interview with Fox, Republican Rep. Greg Steube reacted to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claim where she said she was in favor of banning the import of Russian oil into the United States. Rep. Steube said that the House should go ahead and vote on a bill to ban Russian oil imports as soon as possible.

That would fast track a bill to President Biden’s desk which would put him under pressure to make a decision that he seems like he doesn’t want to do.

In transcript provided by Breitbart, Rep. Steube stated, “Well, let’s do it. I mean, I don’t care how he responds now. Let’s send him a bill. I mean, if Pelosi’s now saying that we’re going to ban Russian oil, there’s been a number of Republicans that I’ve cosponsored that would do just that. Pfluger has one out of Texas, why don’t we do that now? We were in Washington yesterday for votes. We’ll be in Washington on Monday.”

Steube then added, “If she really feels strongly about it and it’s not just words and she does intend on doing it, let’s have a bill, on Monday evening, when we’re all up there, and let’s vote to do it, send that bill to the Senate. If Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats are willing to support it and it passes the House and the Senate, put it on Biden’s desk and see what he does then.”
