You weren't complying.

The fury inside me right now is bubbling over with how we're going to address this problem.

I find it particularly offensive when we've had over 900 people a year dying in West Virginia because of lack of attention.

in March 2016, we lost a young woman with great potential named Jessica Grubb. Jessie was a great student, a loving daughter and sister, and an avid runner. She was also recovering from an opioid addiction. When she had surgery for an…

I think this has been a lot of a classic display of innuendo and McCarthyism that we are seeing too often here in Washington.

What do we have to do to get Mr. Inch's attention in that and ask for some help?

I want to thank you. We had a major drug raid, and you all were very much involved in that and made it happen.

We're just understaffed. I think that's it, in a nutshell, in that prison, with the amount of population base we have.

Well, we're ground zero. West Virginia is number one. We had 909 deaths, out of a population of 1,800,000 people.
