Watch: House Dem mocks Republicans to their faces for panicking about gas stoves being seized

There are currently no plans for the federal government to start seizing Americans' gas stoves, but that hasn't stopped congressional Republicans from holding multiple hearings addressing the matter.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) on Tuesday openly mocked Republicans' gas stove obsession when he asked Dr. Geri Richmond of the Department of Energy about her department's purported nefarious plans to seize his oven.

"When are you coming to take my gas stove away?" he asked. "And will I get a four-hour window, like when Comcast comes to my house... because I just want to be home when it happens because I have a dog and I don't want him to be let out by accident. So can we schedule that now, when are you coming?"

"We're not coming," Richmond replied through laughter.

Later in the hearing, Moskowitz pointed out the serious opportunity cost imposed by Republicans' obsession with gas stoves, as he said it prevented Congress from addressing more legitimate problems facing the nation.

"Any parent out there, anyone who has a kid... here's the score," he concluded. "Gun violence hearings in the 118th Congress: Zero. Gas stoves? three. That's all you need to know about what's happening in the 118th Congress."
