Congressman Marc Veasey, vice chair of the New Democrat Coalition and U.S. representative for Texas’ 33rd Congressional District, didn’t mince words on Tuesday, Jan. 28, after it was announced that President Donald Trump had issued an executive order freezing federal grants and funds:
“I call bullshit!” Veasey declared.
And Veasey’s response today (Wednesday, Jan. 29) after a court enjoined Trump’s order, blocking it from taking effect, and after Trump then rescinded the order, Veasey was equally as blunt:
“Like I said,” the congressman noted in a press release today, “bullshit.”
Of the original executive order, Veasey said, “President Trump has no real solutions for lowering costs for families, and he’s just making noise to serve up some red meat. Congress has already allocated funds and grants to provide essential community services.
“If President Trump wants to find ways to cut unnecessary spending and lower costs — we’re right here,” Veasey continued. “Work with us. In the meantime, stop messing with our veterans, our hospitals and our kids’ education.”

Veasey’s office urged constituents and businesses to check their federal accounts before taking any action, in case they have been affected by the recent freeze.
