Sen. Jacky Rosen Accuses Republican Colleague of Stalking
Senator Jacky Rosen clashed with Republican Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) during a Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee hearing, accusing him of “stalking” her staff.
Incident Details
The confrontation took place as Moreno admitted to collecting vehicle identification numbers (VINs) of his Democratic colleagues' cars. Moreno, a former car dealership owner, claimed he was highlighting his colleagues’ hypocrisy on automobile safety features.
“Would it surprise you that I got the VIN numbers of every one of my Democrat colleagues’ vehicles and found that none of them bought any of the additional safety technologies on their cars?” Moreno said. “So when you are actually shopping for a car with your own money, you don’t buy the technology, but we’re sitting here saying this should be mandated for everybody else’s cars.”
Resulting Discussion
This admission sparked a debate over privacy concerns and which party should take responsibility for the government shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history at 36 days.
Moreno’s comments emphasized the cost of extra automobile safety features, questioning the Democrats’ stance on mandates.
Unaddressed Remarks
- Two senators made comments without directly addressing Moreno’s claims.
Summary: The exchange revealed tensions between parties over privacy issues and government accountability amid the longest shutdown in American history.
