“It is unfortunate that we fail--some of us on this floor--to recognize that the lead author of this bill is a Republican member of their caucus. Unfortunately, it is a Republican member of their caucus that they no longer find conveniently friendly to their agenda of hate and division.

Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
