U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) has a warning for his fellow Republicans and conservatives. He wants them to know that despite winning the majority in Congress and the presidency, they still will have to fight to get things done.
During a recent appearance on “The Jeff Poor Show” on FM Talk 106.5, Moore discussed what he expects to see from Democrats during the first months of the Trump presidency.
“I think we need to understand, and I think that the American people need to understand, and I’ve said this, I don’t think that the left’s going to go away quietly,” Moore said. “I don’t think the swamp is going to drain itself, and I think that it’s going to be a painful process. But I think if the American people will trust us, and if we will deliver the country, we will be better off.”
The congressman pointed to some of the dirty tactics by those who opposed Trump’s election.

“I mean, if Trump won and they kept the majority in the House, they were going to impeach Trump again,” he argued. “And so to think that, Oh, they’re here to play nice, yeah, they’ll come out. Chuck Schumer and guys come out. Well, we want to work together. Hakeem, Jeffries, they all want to work together now. But those are the people that were in power that shut people down, shut worship centers down with COVID. They violated liberty. They went after their political opponent. They put people in jail for walking into the Capitol. These are not the kind of people that you go, oh yeah, everybody’s in kumbaya now, because you don’t have power. When they’ve got power, they’re dangerous, and when they weaponize systems against the American citizens and against political opponents, now is the time we have to hold that group accountable.”
Moore hopes Republicans in Congress will work to help President Trump pass tax cuts, cut government waste, and clean up the Washington D.C. bureaucracies.
“Like I said, we’ve got four years,” he argued. “We’ve got a President who’s willing to bring outsiders in to help us clean the mess up, and so the DOJ, the FBI, there’s a number of law enforcement agencies, a number of things, a number of just big, big government agencies that need to be vetted, and they need to be cleaned out, and they need to be returned to the American people, and they need to answer the American people, I think.”
