HUD Secretary Scott Turner Keeps Bringing Up Biden When Asked What He's Achieved

Trump Secretary Keeps Bringing Up Biden When Asked What He’s Achieved
HUD Secretary Scott Turner couldn’t provide a single example of what he has done in the year-plus since he took office.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner crashed and burned Thursday when trying to defend the Trump’s administration’s massive budget cuts to his department.
Appearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee, Turner repeatedly rehashed his issues with former President Joe Biden’s administration, which he claimed accomplished less with a larger budget—rather than provide any evidence of his own work. Lawmakers were fed up


“What is your record? You’ve had this job for well over a year! I just want to know did you get the number down? Do we have 700,000 homeless still, or is it one million, or one million point five?” New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand asked.

Gillibrand demanded the results of the federal government’s Point-in-Time Count, a yearly report on how many people in the United States are experiencing homelessness. The report is typically released every December. As of mid-May, the Point-in-Time Count for 2025 has not been released.

“I just don’t want to hear what you don’t like about the Biden administration! You’re in charge, you have a vision, let’s see it, let’s see the results!” Gillibrand said.

The shutdown lasted 43 days (less than a month and a half). So how did that cause the report to be 5 months late (and still counting)? Yet another unqualified, incompetent and arrogant member of this administration.

I guess it’s just proof of how limited their alleged “thinking” is.

Joe Biden on his WORST day was more caring, compassionate, and effective than ANY of these jerks can imagine even pretending to care, on their absolute LUCKIEST and BEST-EVER days.

God Bless Joseph R. Biden. A true public servant of the finest kind.
