Republicans Give Democrats A Taste Of Their Own Medicine

Will Democrats live by the rules they are trying to enforce?

The far-left blue state of California recently outraged residents when they issued a recommendation to their citizens to keep their thermostats to a minimum of 78 degrees.

Now, Republican Senator Joni Ernst is telling President Biden’s Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency to dial up their thermostats as well if they want to force Americans to do it too.

According to Fox Business, Senator Ernst issued new legislation called the Lead By Example Act of 2022 which is trying to force Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and EPA administrator Michael Regan to send reports to Congress about the room temperatures of their headquarters.

Senator Ernst told fox, “During a hot summer, liberal leaders told Americans to set the AC to 78 degrees to compensate for failed Democratic policies. Secretary of Energy Granholm praised the move, saying states like California are leading by example. It’s time for Biden officials to adhere to the same regulations they’re forcing on hardworking Americans.”

She then added, “My bill requires EPA and the Department of Energy to set the AC no lower than 78 degrees, and provide a report to Congress on what they’ve had the AC set at in the past. Not only will this make Washington bureaucrats think twice before imposing arbitrary rules on Americans, it could even save money. It’s time to make ‘em squeal, and sweat!”
