Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) is urging House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to bring the House back into session.

“Congress shouldn't be the last people to come back. We should be the first to come back,” Scalise told Fox News Friday.

“I've been very vocal when Speaker Pelosi canceled votes that we were going to have next week, that she shouldn't be afraid of bringing members back,” Scalise said.

“We just went back to D.C. last week to vote on the next round of relief package for the Paycheck Protection Program. It went smooth. You didn't see major incidents. And again, the Senate is going to be in next week. Is there some reason why Nancy Pelosi doesn't think the House should be working as well? 

You know, there's ways to do this safely. Congress, by the way, should be leading. Congress shouldn't be the last people to come back. We should be the first to come back – safer, showing those safer protocols and getting our job done.”
