Every American should understand that political violence has no place in our country or in our political discourse.

In this country, no one should be above the law.

Let's be clear: There is no place for violence, threats, intimidation, or harassment against students, faculty, or other school community members because they are Jewish.

They still have nothing to show for it which explains why we are frantically calling last-minute hearings over and over again to distract from Trump's criminal trials.

That coming down here, outside of that courtroom while that witness is on the stand to try to impeach his credibility and his testimony is jury tampering.

This Subcommittee is using its platform to bully American people into believing falsehoods, falsehoods which serve little purpose other than to scare every day Americans, spread confusion, and attempt to reelect Donald Trump.

This is not the Republican Party. This is a cult of personality where Donald Trump exercises totalitarian control.

Everyone who purports to call themselves a leader must unequivocally condemn such calls to violence.

It is our duty to call that bias and hidden agendas of the Committee.

Let me tell you what is really election interference. Withholding military aid to an ally in the middle of a war to coerce and extort a foreign government to investigate a political opponent.

I hope this issue you see in a room that is often contentious, explosive, volcanic, that you have got Members on both sides who first honor and salute the victims...

As we think forward about, you know, what can we do? This is the Homeland Security Committee.

In light of Republicans producing absolutely zero on impeachment, let's just declare from here forward, until they put up some evidence, that Joe Biden has been acquitted of every single MAGA smear.

I think the approach here is to over request, to overkill on their search for documents and put you in an impossible position.

Chair Jordan may believe that everyone on this Committee has amnesia, because for the last 18 months, almost every time we have come into this room, we have been promised evidence of crimes that will impeach President Biden, over and over…

You can't keep up with the overwhelming requests of nonsense that's coming from them, and they won't prioritize.

Despite the majority's unwillingness to prioritize what they want, is it true that you've provided the Committee with more than 12,000 pages of documents?

I guess we're talking about COVID again. That's all right. I'm old enough to remember when the former President, President Trump, wrote out, Looks like a third rate grandstander named Thomas Massie...

People who are just trying to do their jobs, work for Uncle Sam and do the right thing to make America better, safer, and stronger don't deserve to be attacked in that way.

It's important for the American people to know that we have adversaries out there who are trying to undermine American democracy.

What are the dangers of Congressman Kennedy--I'm sorry, Congressman Massie's fear-mongering against a safe and effective vaccine that saves lives against a virus that killed over a million Americans?

In the Department of 'You Can't Make This Up,' the Chair of the whole Committee is approaching 700 days being out of compliance of a subpoena that was issued to him.

It's not about Speaker Johnson's job, it's about doing the job every day that Americans expect us to do, which is to get things done.

I hope we can continue to work together with the private sector and on this committee to do big things like passing important legislation that will improve how the Federal Government collaborates with the private sectors by authorizing the…
