Mr. Speaker, this is not about the contempt of the Attorney General. It is about MAGA Republicans' contempt for the Constitution, the rule of law, and democracy. It is about who any of us came here to fight for. MAGA Republicans are fighting for one person at the cost of what your constituents actually care about. You are fighting for a felon. You are fighting for a felon. On this side, we are fighting for working people. We are fighting for the kids and the teachers and the soldiers and the cops and the firefighters and the bakers and the butchers, the people who go to work every day and count on us to do something for them; and you, you are working for a felon, a felon. Twelve of his neighbors, people in the community where he committed crimes, made 34 decisions, and 408 straight times they said he was guilty. Let me make it clear where we stand. We will choose families over felons, verdicts over vengeance, and people over politics. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
