Lindsey Graham
@lindseygraham· Republican · SC· Feb 8, 2024

No, I am speaking. You will speak later. To the people in the House, we have not really tried hard to secure the border. We took a well-meaning product. People worked really hard. I applaud you and others for coming out with a product that…

I will be glad to. I voted no because I didn't see a process in place or willingness by my Democratic colleagues to allow me to express how I think it could be better. See, at the end of the day--you weren't here, but Senator McCain…

Thank you. So let's have an overview of where we are at here. Everything my colleagues on the Democratic side said about helping Ukraine makes perfect sense to me. I think we need to help Ukraine. I thought it was a really bad idea to get…

I will be glad to. Yes, because I think the fix is in. I think people on our side and your side wanted to do the border thing as quick as they could so we could get to Ukraine. And I don't trust the system here to be able to allow us to…

No. That is ass-backwards. We don't do it that way. During the Gang of 8 and other attempts, we had a robust amendment process. And let me tell you, I think there are things we can do to make it better.

@lindseygraham· Republican · SC· Feb 8, 2024

No. To my House colleagues: You can do better than this. Don't send us back H.R. 2. It is not going anywhere. You couldn't get all Republicans for H.R. 2. We lost one Republican and no Democrats. So this idea we have done enough on the…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 420, nays 0, answered ``present'' 2, not voting 9, as…

More of the same is the fact that we can't be a country in disarray and have a world on fire and go through four more years of chaos. We won't survive it.
