Ex-Lawmaker Says Lack of Oversight Cost Republicans


November 26, 2018 at 9:14 am EST By Taegan Goddard

Former Rep. David Dreier (R-CA) told NBC Los Angeles that Republicans lost the House because of the party’s lack of aggressively checking the White House.

Said Dreier: “Oversight, which is a Constitutionally directed responsibility, is so critically important. And my Republican colleagues did not, I believe, do an adequate enough job.”

He added: “Ours is a nation of institutions. We need to remember that, and Congress needs to exercise that authority.”
