Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the objection. The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 minutes.

Madam Speaker, I represent the Third District of Pennsylvania, which includes part of Philadelphia, the birthplace of America. It was in Philadelphia that the Constitution of the United States was written and signed, the very Constitution…

Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the objection. The SPEAKER. The gentlewoman from Pennsylvania is recognized for 5 minutes.

Madam Speaker, first, I do want to acknowledge the devastating events of the last 12 hours and to express my deep appreciation for those who have worked to secure this building and safeguard our democracy. On behalf of my colleagues, we…

Mr. President, I rise tonight to defend the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania--to defend the more than 6.9 million voters who voted in this election--and to condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this attempt to disenfranchise…

Madam Speaker, I rise this evening with a heavy heart. The violence that occurred today at the U.S. Capitol was senseless, destructive, and counter to our American values. This past Sunday, each Member of this body took an oath to uphold…

Joe Biden is not going to be successful. We're not going to bring this country together, if we continue the rhetoric at the level that we have seen.

Let's try to make it a an opportunity for unity that he wants to accomplish.

One of the things that I've learned from the GOP is that simping for the president and golfing is -- you know, waters the tree of liberty in this country.

My dude owes me at least $2 million. We had two instances of voter fraud in Pennsylvania that involved Republicans having relatives vote for Donald Trump, one living, one dead.

I think the President just picked the wrong one. So I don't think that was a political wind shift. I just think he picked the wrong bill to veto.

I mean, it's pretty clear to everybody that the President is not going to win this election and that nothing is going to happen on January 6th to overturn it.

It's pretty inexplicable to me. You know, the fact that he went ahead and signed these two bills is -- there really isn't a good reason to have held off.

I think this puts Republican, particularly two senators in Georgia in a very tough bind to have a president, you know, having voted for the National Defense Authorization Act now, having to decide whether they're going to buck the…

What Donald Trump is doing right now is affirming is affirming one thing, and that is that he believes he's not going to be president on January 20th.
