GOP Rep Whines About 99-Page Bill, Gets Schooled with Simple Math

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) drew ridicule after he whined on Fox News about not having enough time to read the 99-page bill that President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) thrashed out to suspend the national debt limit and curb some spending.

“We ought to have a lot more time,” Norman grumbled to Fox News’ John Roberts on Tuesday after parroting a right-wing talking point about comments once made by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that are frequently taken out of context.

“But he is giving you 72 hours to consider it before you are asked to vote on it,” Roberts told Norman. “It’s only 99 pages.”

On Twitter. Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) led the mockery of Norman’s gripe.

“If GOP Rep Ralph Norman works 8 hours a day, that’s 24 hours over 3 days to read 99 pages. That comes out to reading a little over 4 pages every hour. And these are double spaced text pages,” he continued.
