House Republicans were made to look like fools by Rep. Katie Porter when in two minutes she exposed ludicrous Republicans trying to rollback efficiency standards when it comes to dishwashers and refrigerators.
Republicans should know by now not to mess with Porter, but being knuckledraggers is all the MAGAts do in the House.
Representative Duncan, I'd like to know if you know what the average utility cost is a month to run a dishwasher.
Nope, he doesn't know.
Katie does: "Two to four dollars a month."
In other words, about a third of a Frappuccino.
Two to four dollars a month.
Porter persisted: "Mr. Duncan, do you know about how much a dishwasher costs, Representative Duncan? Like a mid-range dishwasher?"
Nope he doesn't know.
About $800, $900.
Do you want to get fancier, like $1,000?
Porter again: "Representative Duncan, do you know the best ways, the most important things you can do to make your dishwasher get the dishes clean?"
Nope, not a dishwasher expert.
"Loading it correctly," she answered for him.
Mr. Chair, do you know how long it takes to load a dish, what the most important technique is to load a dishwasher correctly?
It is loading it correctly.
