When Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, arrives at the Capitol, it’s pretty much a guarantee he’ll have two things, a cigar and Trump gear. Nehls is outspoken, unapologetic and supports President-elect Donald Trump unconditionally.
“If Donald Trump says ‘jump three feet high and scratch your head.’ We all jump three feet high and scratch our heads. That’s it,” Nehls told reporters after the president-elect met with House Republicans.
Nehls added Republicans should embrace every single objective, goal and word Trump says.
“Embrace the new day because the American people have spoken,” Nehls said. “Now many are probably at home crying in their milk and whatever, going to bed early, sucking on their woobie because they lost. But the American people have spoken. So now let’s all unite as one America.”
So, in the interest of unity, Straight Arrow News asked Nehls if he could invite any Democrat to a local cigar bar to get to know them for an hour. Who would it be?
“Well I don’t want to put any Democrat in that position, because that could hurt their positions maybe in some of these committees. I’ve got a few,” Nehls said. “I have a lot of respect for some of the Democrats. But I think it would be irresponsible for me to tell you who they are. But you got to understand, I have some bipartisan legislation out there with some Democrats, and if you do a little bit of research, you’d know who they are.”
So, SAN researched Nehls legislative proposals. Based on his fellow co-sponsors, these are the Democratic representatives Nehls would get a cigar with.
Rep. Luis Correa, D-Calif.
Correa joined Nehls and three others in sponsoring the Improving Medicare Services Act.
The act would require the federal government to do an analysis of customer wait times, staff competency and contractor performance of 1-800-Medicare.
Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass.
Auchincloss is the lead sponsor of the Pharmacists Fight Back Act. It would overhaul the Pharmacy Benefit Managers system in the U.S.
Critics argue the system creates a middleman for prescription drugs and therefore increases costs to patients.
Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Ga.
Bishop, who along with Nehls is one of 58 co-sponsors of the Farmer Assistance and Revenue Mitigation Act of 2024.
The act would help keep farms viable if they grow certain crops that cost more to produce than can be sold for.
