The Ways and Means Committee yanked an invitation for former GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo to testify at a hearing next week after other Democrats became enraged that the panel was offering a prized platform to a longtime foeWays and Means Chairman Richard Neal on Friday officially rescinded the invititation to Curbelo — who was invited by Democrats and slated to testify about climate change — after facing widespread pressure throughout the caucus, including from leadership.
“Mr. Hoyer felt it would be inappropriate for Mr. Curbelo to testify given he has been unclear about his 2020 electoral plans and has a long track record of being unable to persuade his Republican colleagues that climate change is real and needs to be addressed,” said Mariel Saez, a Hoyer spokeswoman.
The issue started boiling up in the caucus earlier this week after word spread among the rank and file that Democrats on the committee had asked Curbelo to testify.
