Tony Cárdenas actually said...

"It is the responsibility of every Member of Congress to discuss the gun violence epidemic, the Zika epidemic, to fix them with legislation..."

"But this resolution alone won't solve the epidemic, but it is a way to start the kind of conversation and examination of gun violence that has been so sadly lacking under this leadership."

"I picked 10 legislative days as a compromise in my mind to while it is still fresh in our minds."

"So, again, we are talking about the most egregious, most heightened instances in the United States where the House of Congress pauses and has a moment of silence."
