Published | Video Starts at 09:04

Again, 20 of its 27 clauses are just Republicans congratulating yourselves for bills you have already passed and... have not become law. I mean the resolution can't become law, only says it supports rural America in the title. I mean, I'm looking through the actual text and it basically just pats House Republicans on the back for strengthening rural communities. (09:04–09:15)
