decisions made by certain Governors--40 percent of the death in this country happened in nursing homes, and decisions made by Governors in five states that would, in hindsight, frankly I don't even know of any hindsight, that were just…

We talked about if China had told us earlier, lots more people would be alive today in our country and around the world.

We can't have a true assessment of our response because this hyperpolarized environment makes every single action a political failure.

I think, would appreciate some--a little more consistent application of the Constitution in our First Amendment liberties by some of the Democrat mayors and Governors around the country.

It is shocking that this week, as we are pushing everybody, government, private sector, all people, to do more to try to find a cure and to slow the spread, that the majority party would bring a bill to the floor this week that, according…

Your brother will not have died in vain.

Our Nation must listen, and it must heal.

I want to thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today and discuss legislation that Congressman Ro Khanna and I introduced, the VET TEC Expansion Act.

I was struck by the potential of non-traditional education courses for today's evolving workforce.

I introduced the original VET TEC Act in early 2017 and President Trump signed it into law that summer.

It's behind closed doors with a Chairman who has lied three times to the American public looking them in the eye. And somehow, we're supposed to trust what comes out of that?

Well, we pause for one moment and you read this IG report by Horowitz, here's the FBI, they broke into President Trump at the time candidate Trump's campaign, spied on him, and then they covered it up. It is a modern day Watergate.

This flawed process was crafted to ensure a partisan, preordained result.

Well, put a candidate up that is worth voting for. How about that?

What I cannot discern is a legitimate reason why, why the majority is moving forward when the process is so partisan.

Democrats in the House have been pushing to impeach President Trump since before he was even sworn in.

There is no way this can or should be viewed as legitimate, certainly not by Republicans whose minority rights have been trampled on every step on the way.

Seven weeks ago when this committee met to consider a resolution to guide the process for the Democrats' unprecedented impeachment inquiry, I warned that they were treading on shaky ground with their unfair and close process.

When half of Americans are telling you that what you are doing is wrong, you should listen.

The majority is seeking to remove the President over something that didn't happen: the alleged quid pro quo with the President of Ukraine.

This is not a shock for any of us who have been here under the Obama administration.

Why then are we plunging the country into this kind of turmoil and this kind of trauma now when the voters themselves will resolve the matter one way or another less than a year from today?

Democrats have pushed forward using a partisan process that limited the President's right to due process.

The partisan process prescribed and pursued by Democrats is truly unprecedented.

If she paused and she actually listened to the hearing yesterday on what a Democrat who did not vote for the President, who has studied the constitution, who most at any time has been a witness for Democrats or Republicans based upon his…
