This is absolutely cruel, it is unacceptable, and it has to stop.

I vehemently defend Americans' right to assemble, to free speech, and to protest, and I always will.

Congress should be proactive to strengthen statistics in the U.S. Pacific Territories.

I want to start off by recognizing that the felony convictions of a former President represent a first for our country and that is solemn. I don't celebrate these convictions.

It is a conspiracy theory.

Now, some of my colleagues say the Department of Justice, a Federal agency that is part of the Biden Administration, somehow directed the Manhattan District Attorney to indict Mr. Trump in a New York State case.

Just to make things clear, it is fair to say that President Biden himself was not involved in this case?

Now, some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle claim the verdict against the ex-President is--and these are all quotes, ``a travesty,'' ``rigged,'' and ``a sham,'' that the jury of peers who assembled to do their civic duty…

Can democracy survive if the rule of law is eroded?

Now, Ambassador Eisen, can you please talk about these increased threats to public officials as well as distrust in the system, how harmful both of those could be to our country's independent judiciary and really our democracy?

Four hundred and eight straight times they said the word 'guilty.'

I don't view this hearing as a shaming of any particular company but, rather, an opportunity to learn from mistakes in the past.

They don't seem to understand that they were elected to serve their constituents, not the disgraced, twice impeached, and now convicted leader of the party.

Unfortunately, these attacks on the very foundations of our government to prop up the former President have become the norm for their party.

If Donald Trump, as the jury unanimously found, covered up 2016 conduct of a pattern that we saw again in 2020, and we see him limbering up for in 2024, then he deserves to be found guilty.

Hey, guys, might want to get your hands up. You were hanging out with convicted felon Donald Trump. I don't think anyone on our side did. That's why we are here.

Let's talk about subpoenas for just one second because two of your last speakers are 750-plus days in defiance of a subpoena. Get real when Mr. Jordan and Mr. Biggs come to this floor and want to talk and get all righteous about subpoenas…

Over and over again this Congress we have seen House Republicans set aside congressional work--the people's business--to do the former President's bidding.
