Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
I am deeply humbled to have been selected to be the next Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.
Ways and Means Republicans will build an economy that is strong by prioritizing our most valuable economic resource, the American worker.

Jason Smith, a friend of the American Worker?
Some of the responses:
We now return you to your regular GQP programming.
Republicans are far more interested in manufacturing discontent than in doing anything to fix anything.
How does cutting Social Security, Medicare, and Food Assistance programs, stifling Unionization efforts, and slashing taxes for the obscenely wealthy help “the American Worker”, Jason?
Can you explain to me what your objectives are and how they benefit workers?
Gaslighting. Wealth distribution upward. Just to name a couple.
You are a joke and will do nothing more than hurt the working class people. Signed, a Missourian
You’re a liar.
[….]
The 1/6 Traitor says what?
Traitor.
You’ve voted against almost every bill passed by Biden that ACTUALLY prioritizes the American worker. [….]
I won’t hold my breath that you’ll actually do anything of value in this position.
I notice in your feed you talk a lot about Democrats adding 2 trillion to the debt but I don’t see anything about Republicans adding 8 trillion in 4 years under the last admin and the majority of that was tax cuts for rich folk. Funny how that slipped your list of grievances
Gaslighting.
Peak Missouri Republican: Constantly complain about government spending, never address that majority is going to districts like your own while majority of taxes are coming from Democratic districts.
Joe already built it— but like a Trumplican you’ll find a way to take credit for the work YOU didn’t do.
What Jason means is, The Americans in The Blue States
Will subsidize The Red States Who refuse to Pay Their
Own Fair Share of American Taxes.
Why did you vote against certifying the 2020 presidential election?
This guy is hilarious.
He has one of the most anti-labor / anti-worker voting records in Congress.
See AFL-CIO Legislative Scoreboard
This chairman position was bought and paid for.
Freaking clown show
I don’t recognize insurrectionist trash as legitimate lawmakers. Therefore I’m going to ignore and laugh at anything that comes out of your committee.
Republicans exploit American workers with their massive tax cuts for corporations, which never “ trickle down”
The House made a big mistake making you chair of anything. You are an #Insurrectionist and a worthless representative for MO.
I hope you will not become even more deeply humbled because @HouseGOP juvenile delinquent anarchism leads to a default on debt obligations *already incurred* and a market crash
best luck with that, congressman
you might end up wishing you were back in the minority, trolling away
Aren’t Republicons for the wealthy. Your trickle down economics have destroyed our economy. Good luck getting past Senate and Biden.
He might be able to name a few Post Offices.
Please don’t strip away Social Security and Medicare from seniors who have worked hard and contributed to the system their entire lives.
Especially if you plan to turn our money over to millionaire grifters
Except for sitting on a bench and shitposting on social media.

You were expecting anything different?
Thursday evening:
Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
President Biden’s first *ever* trip to the southern border should begin with a visit to McAllen, TX, to see the millions of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded border wall steel his Administration has left sitting in a yard.

What will Jason Smith (r) be doing today? Sitting on a bench and possibly shitposting on social media.
Some of the responses:
Trump boondoggle Jason. In my lifetime no R or D Congress has been serious about immigration. Each side wants the other side to lose. Therin is the border problem.
Trump said he finished the wall
What? Mexico didn’t pay for it?
I would hush if I were you. This debacle of trying to nominate a speaker of the house! January 6th, hmm. Most know where you were. Now this. Very ashamed!
You mean your king didn’t do what he promised and now you expect President Biden to clean up another of his messes?
We should give all that steel to Mexico. I mean, they paid for it, right?
Moving the goalpost already?
Distraction, really. The past few days haven’t been so good.
Aah. And here we have the forgetful Republican. Conveniently ignoring that the Trump administration “redirected” millions from the government for all the steel that is cheerfully rusting away.
No, Biden didn’t do it. But he did have to clean up after a Republican “president”
So when do you Republicans expect to elect a speaker? Seems like a pretty easy thing to do.
Shouldn’t you be focused on electing a speaker?
Just ‘sayin
Vote against McCarthy. #trump2023
Too late. Eleven times.
Scrap it. It’s a dumb ass idea anyway. Any a hole could defeat a wall. Another fun fact you have to build gaps at the bottom of the wall in many sections because water would knock it down. Brilliant.
I thought we were told Mexico was paying for the wall? Was that just another lie?
I am one of your constituents.
I want change. I thought you did too.
I will NOT be voting for you ever again.
After emailing, calling and posting on Twitter just today, my message is still the same.
DO NOT VOTE FOR MCCARTHY!!!!
Too late. Eleven times, so far. Heh.
The wall was always a stupid, useless idea. Why waste any more money on it.
Vote for an America 1st Speaker & honor the wishes of those who hired you to represent us.
