The remedy is not to deny a mother access to care for her sick child. What we need is effective law enforcement and less Trump coddling and pardoning of offenders ,” said Rep. Doggett. “Yelling “fraud” while empowering criminals solves nothing and will harm many. As usual, House Republicans fear any meaningful oversight of the Trump regime.”
