“Colleagues, there are a lot of problems in the world: male pattern baldness, lactose intolerance, flat feet. There is a time and place to address those problems, but it is not tonight, and it is not on this bill. Just like it is not the time and place to address Signal either. I know the Democrats are angry about how the Trump administration talked about killing terrorists in Yemen. I think we should be angry about how the Biden administration refused to kill terrorists in Yemen. That is especially true since Avril Haines and other Biden administration officials used Signal to discuss sensitive matters. So I suggest we simply commend the President for taking long-overdue action while we keep our eyes tonight on the problems we can solve by cutting taxes, securing our border, unleashing American energy, and rebuilding our military. That is what it will take to keep America safe and prosperous, not debating extraneous issues better left for another time. I urge my colleagues to oppose the amendment and to pass this budget.”
