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

But instead of working with the President to help Americans, my colleagues across the aisle would rather politicize this public health crisis.

Wearing a mask is the best opportunity for us to keep this economy open, keep us working, keep us safe, and help us as we build toward that vaccine where we're in a much stronger position than any other country before.

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…

Our Nation must listen, and it must heal.

Your brother will not have died in vain.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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…

It is a Soviet-style impeachment process.
