Hardworking Americans expect their leaders to stay awake on the job, but this week’s Capitol Hill snooze fest proved yet again that Washington’s elite think rules don’t apply to them. Viral videos caught multiple lawmakers napping during a marathon overnight hearing – a slap in the face to taxpayers funding their six-figure salaries.
The House Ways and Means Committee turned into a naptime playground as representatives struggled to stay conscious. Utah Republican Blake Moore briefly dozed off after 15 grueling hours debating President Trump’s bold tax cut package. While regrettable, at least he was working to put money back in your pocket instead of pushing woke handouts.
Democrats showed their true colors though. Michigan’s Debbie Dingell got caught dead asleep mid-hearing – her head bobbing like a tired student in math class. This is the same party that wants to control your healthcare and raise your taxes while they can’t even control their own eyelids.
They’re quick to lecture us about “fatigue” and “grueling schedules,” but real Americans work night shifts without nodding off. These lawmakers collect $174,000 yearly to represent us, not to audition for sleeping beauty remakes. If a construction worker napped on the job, he’d be fired – why do politicians get a pass?
The “Outnumbered” panel ripped this spectacle as proof of D.C.’s unaccountable culture. While Republicans were grinding through the night to pass pro-growth policies, Democrats treated the hearing like a pajama party. This isn’t just about naps – it’s about respect for the people’s business.
Let’s be clear: Tired parents working double shifts don’t have the luxury of catnaps at work. Our troops don’t doze off guarding freedom’s frontier. Yet these coddled career politicians think basic professionalism is too much to ask. It’s time to wake up and drain the swamp – starting with term limits.
Conservatives understand that every tax dollar matters. When lawmakers treat hearings like nap time, they’re spitting on the sacrifices of single moms clocking overtime and small business owners burning midnight oil. This isn’t comedy – it’s your hard-earned money being wasted.
The choice is clear: Keep electing sleepy elites who ignore your values, or send homegrown patriots to Washington who’ll fight wide-eyed for American greatness. While the left coddles bureaucrats, real leaders are ready to work – no snooze button needed.
