Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 13, 2022
I oppose the gentleman's amendment. It allows some of the most hardened terrorists in U.S. custody a platform to publicly broadcast their message. Our military commissions process at Guantanamo Bay has already been substantially delayed. Letting hardened terrorists know there is a public audience for their hate will do far more harm than good. Federal courts have stuck to their guns against broadcasting major terrorism cases, such as the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, and I see no reason to make an exception for terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. Mr. Speaker, even the Biden administration has fought against prior versions of this amendment. I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.
