Three U.S. lawmakers were caught sleeping during a marathon overnight hearing, sparking outrage among hardworking Americans. Videos show elected officials slumped over or needing physical taps to wake up during critical votes. These politicians wasted taxpayer time discussing another massive spending package while struggling to stay awake.
Utah Congressman Blake Moore became a national punchline after falling asleep during a vote on President Trump’s tax agenda. A colleague had to shake him awake as the room erupted in laughter. This happened after 15 hours of debate – but Moore still found time to post on social media about “delivering results” between naps.
The hearing dragged through the night as Democrats pushed their usual big-government policies. While everyday Americans clock into early shifts, these career politicians can’t even stay conscious during their cushy D.C. jobs. It’s clearer than ever that Washington elites live by different rules than the people they’re supposed to serve.
This embarrassing spectacle proves why conservatives fight to shrink the federal government. Bloated bureaucracies create endless meetings instead of actual solutions. Real leadership means showing up alert and ready to work – not treating Congress like a naptime daycare for overpaid officials.
Democrats want to control every aspect of our lives but can’t control their own sleep schedules during crucial debates. How can we trust them with healthcare or national security if they can’t stay awake through basic committee work? This is the swamp in action – lazy, entitled, and completely out of touch.
President Trump’s tax plan would let Americans keep more of their paychecks, yet these drowsy lawmakers barely stayed conscious long enough to pass it. While they snooze, inflation keeps rising and our border stays open. Maybe Congress needs mandatory drug tests and bedtime curfews to earn their six-figure salaries.
The “Outnumbered” hosts rightly mocked this shameful display of unprofessionalism. In the real world, nodding off at your job gets you fired – but in D.C., it gets you reelected. Voters deserve representatives who respect their time and tax dollars enough to stay awake during working hours.
Conservatives know accountability starts at the top. It’s time to replace sleepy bureaucrats with bold leaders who’ll fight for American values instead of pillow privileges. The midterms can’t come soon enough to drain this embarrassing swamp once and for all.
