Proudly serving the 5th congressional district of South Carolina 🍑 - Chairman @House_COS

Joined June 2017
During shutdowns, federal workers are told to “do more with less.” Meanwhile, Congress still cashes paychecks. That’s wrong. I’ve reintroduced an Amendment to end Member pay during shutdowns. Zero. No back pay either!!

The system failed the Federico family — plain and simple. SLED admits key fingerprints were never sent in, meaning a dangerous criminal’s record wasn’t complete. This isn’t political. It’s life and death. I’m demanding answers, accountability, and real reforms so this never
🚨 SLED chief Mark Keel coming in HOT in responding to a recent letter from @RalphNorman. The law enforcement leader has accused the congressman of trying to "play politics" and score "political talking points" following the tragic death of Logan Federico.

🚨🚨🚨 Today, the men and women of @CapitolPolice didn’t get paid for the days they worked since the Schumer Shutdown. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Even Chuck Schumer once said, “No reasonable member wants a government shutdown.” Now he’s leading one. Guess the far-left calls the shots now.

Letitia James indicted…shocking, right? I applauded FHFA in April for investigating her shady mortgage scheme. Preaches about corruption while living it. Pure hypocrisy!!

South Carolinians deserve law enforcement systems that work — not bureaucratic failures that cost lives. A violent repeat offender should’ve never been free to murder Logan Federico. I’m demanding answers from SLED on how this happened and what’s being done to fix it. ⬇️

Every day this Democrat Shutdown drags on, our troops, Coast Guard, Border Patrol, and air traffic controllers go without pay. All because Democrats want to score points with the far left.

President Trump once again delivers results in the Middle East, showing the world peace is achieved through strength, not weakness. We must stand with Israel and make sure Hamas is fully dismantled.

Democrats have shut down the government to push a $1.5 TRILLION wish list — free healthcare for illegals, more money for woke media, and cuts to rural hospitals. That tells you everything you need to know about who’s calling the shots in their party.

If Congress can’t do its job and pass spending bills, why should they still collect paychecks? I’ve reintroduced a constitutional amendment to zero out Member pay during shutdowns — no back pay either. It’s time for some accountability in this place. https://t.co/kQtHuMN5Yd

Lawmakers are backing a proposal for a constitutional amendment to dock the pay of federal legislators when there is a government shut down.

Two years ago today, Hamas terrorists murdered over 1,200 innocent Israelis — the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Evil must be called what it is. America will always stand with Israel and against terrorism.

Should Congress pass a clean, responsible funding bill to pay our troops and protect the border — without adding $1.5 trillion in new spending?

Plain and simple: Democrats’ political games are already costing American taxpayers over a billion dollars.

Soft-on-crime policies do nothing but embolden criminals and put our communities at risk. Proud to cosponsor this legislation and stand up for law-abiding citizens. Not cater to those who break the law.
🚨BREAKING: I'm leading a group of @HouseGOP lawmakers in introducing legislation to crack down on soft-on-crime cities. We must ensure there are no future Iryna Zarutskas or Logan Federicos. The era of Democrat-run cities putting criminals first and victims last is OVER!

Senate Democrats blocked a bill to fund veterans, seniors, and border security — just to demand $1.5 trillion in new spending. What should Congress prioritize?

Heartbroken to see another life lost to senseless violence — this time at SC State during homecoming. My prayers are with the victims and their families. https://t.co/K8Nad0OuMV

Two shootings were reported on the university’s campus during homecoming events Saturday, and the rest of the weekend’s celebrations were canceled.

The last major shutdown permanently destroyed $3 BILLION in economic output. Democrats are willing to tank our economy to fund healthcare for illegals.

Democrats say “cancel the cuts.” Translation: restore taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens. That’s the fight they’re willing to shut down YOUR government over.

The same Democrats who voted for this exact CR in the past voted against it because President Trump is in office. Dems' hypocrisy caused this shutdown.

House Republicans passed a clean CR to keep the government open, protect veterans, and fund community health centers. Democrats voted NO—and demanded $1.5 trillion in giveaways to illegals and able-bodied adults who won’t work.

House Republicans did our job. We voted to keep the government open. Democrats have now voted THREE times to keep it closed.
