    The Spin

    Republican narrative

    The Republican-led House of Representatives was elected to rein in spending and hold President Biden’s administration accountable for their mismanagement of federal dollars. Billions of taxpayer dollars have been given to fraudsters because Biden and Congressional Democrats have been more focused on pushing money out the door than they are on conducting meaningful oversight.

    Oversight Committee

    Democratic narrative

    Donald Trump and the Republicans are to blame for the potential defrauding of COVID-relief programs. The pandemic started under Trump’s administration, and he failed to implement adequate oversight to protect taxpayer dollars. President Biden is working to clean up his predecessor’s mess.
