Representative Gil Cisneros (D-CA 31) and Damian Galvan break down why Republicans KEEP getting credit for the economy (even though every recent GOP president left it worse than they found it.?)
Rep. Gil Cisneros shares firsthand what really went down at the 3AM “billionaire bailout bill” vote, exposing the chaos, backroom deals, and strategic distractions designed to sneak it through.
