Jared Huffman said "I do appreciate my colleague's love of tennis, our mutual love of tennis and his sense of humor. I have less appreciation when he draws tortured analogies to international sanctions and national security issues. It is just hard to take that kind of sanctimony seriously from somebody who just last week voted, along with the majority of the House Republican Conference, to hand Ukraine over to Vladimir Putin. As I often say in these debates, you have to take a lot of this political theater with a grain of salt, in this case, with a glass of vodka. Mr. Speaker, I yield 6 minutes to the gentlewoman from Alaska (Mrs. Peltola)." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
