I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank him for his tremendous leadership to protect and defend the American people and our Constitution. I thank the gentleman for his kind words about my colleague from San Francisco, Jackie…

The Respect for Marriage Act takes key steps to uphold marriage equality under federal law. This is what we're celebrating. Tearing down the Defense of Marriage Act, taking it off the books for good.

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding, and for her management of this very important legislation as a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. It is my honor to stand on this floor today in support of the Uyghur Policy Act and to join my…

As we gather here, we stand on sacred ground, the Chamber of the United States House of Representatives, the heart of American democracy. I will never forget the first time I saw the Capitol. It was on a cold January day, when I was 6…

Scripture teaches us that for everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. My friends, no matter what title, you all my colleagues have bestowed upon me, Speaker, Leader, Whip, there is no greater official honor…

Violence is intended to suppress participation in the democratic process, but we can never allow it to negate the voice of the people.

This violence and the threats of violence against elected officials and their families are a heinous attempt to hold democracy hostage.

Tomorrow is a very big day for our country where democracy is on the ballot, our planet is on the ballot, our values are on the ballot.

For me, this is really the hard part because Paul was not the target and he is the one who is paying the price. I mean, we all are, but he is the one who is really paying the price, but it really -- it's really sad because it is a flame…

Absolutely. There is no question. It's the same, the same thing. Copycat or whatever it happens to be, inflamed by the same misrepresentation.

It is a model to the world. What we do -- what we do now, we see as our charge from our founders.

Defending our democracy is on the ballot in so many ways.

I feel optimistic. It just depends on turnout.

I think a vote tomorrow is a vote to defend our democracy, but I just want people to vote and then we will respect the outcome of the election.

In our democracy, there is one party that is doubting the outcome of the election, feeding that flame and mocking any violence that happens. That has to stop.

This is not a path that we can continue on and we want people to run for office, local, in every way and you can't say to them, you're risking the safety of your families by going forward. There are no guarantees of safety.

She sees the situation right now.

The need for a strong vibrant Republican party that was so -- with a leader who can stand up and say enough.

I want women to know, and people to know that you stay and you don't shrink away from the fight.

What I see is across the country, legislation that says if they don't like the results of the election, they will establish new standards for what wins an election and determine for themselves what that is. That is not what a democracy is.

This is a one-sided assault on our democracy, an assault on the credibility and integrity of our elections and the rest.

Our security, our democracy, our planet, our values are on the ballot.

Today congressional Democrats now demanding answers from the Capitol police about security for members of Congress.

In the course of the interview, DePape articulated he viewed Nancy as the leader of the pack of lies told by the Democratic Party.

He wanted her to be wheeled in to the Capitol as a display to other Members of Congress, in his words, saying that there are consequences to your actions.
