Bucks County Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick has introduced a bill seeking to censure outgoing Republican President Donald Trump for his role in instigating last week’s riot in the U.S. Capitol.
WASHINGTON, D.C. Bucks County Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01) and U.S. Representative Jared Golden (ME-02) announced that they successfully defied party leaders and secured a provision to block a pay raise for members of Congress in the government funding bill that passed Congress on Dec. 21.
âHardworking Americans across the country do not receive automatic raises every year, and neither should Congress. Congress needs a reality check, not a raise,â said Fitzpatrick. âFor far too long, Congress delayed bipartisan relief during a pandemic to score political points. Gridlock on major issues must not, and will not, be rewarded. We need to be working to help our constituents and fix real issues, not give ourselves a pay raise.â
