Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 17, 1994
I would like for us to look at a tax-exempt organization--I repeat that--a tax-exempt organization which is known as Citizens United, and we would like to look at this organization for a moment this afternoon, Mr. President, to see what Citizens United is, why it has a tax-exempt status, what they are doing and the individual who runs Citizens United. Let me tell you, Mr. President, who that individual is who runs Citizens United. His name is Floyd Brown. Let me repeat it. Floyd Brown. We are going to be hearing a lot about Mr. Brown in the coming weeks ahead because Mr. Brown operates a factory in this area, Mr. President. It is a unique factory. It is a sleaze factory. And this particular sleaze factory which has been given tax-exempt status, is a factory which today is pouring out venom, hate, lies, and poison.
