To call such jobs nonessential and such workers as nonessential is the very height of leftist, elitist philosophy.

Lockdowns haven't saved lives. We can see that plainly by comparing jurisdictions that locked down with those that didn't.

How tone-deaf can you be? Here we are in the middle of the most self-destructive panic in history...

So many things that are going on in this country would be resolved if we would open our economy back up while taking appropriate safety precautions.

People who work in this country legally are appreciated.

I cannot in good conscience send scarce city resources to a person or business that willingly jeopardized public health.

What do you think about the fairness of people who don't sacrifice, who cheat, who break the law, who come into this country and flagrantly decide that they don't need to play by the rules, that they can just have the benefits that they…

Oh, I'm afraid you're going to be joined by many other conservatives. Anybody who questions authority in a town that's run by liberal socialists are going to be discriminated against. You can guarantee that.

So, in other words, your husband followed the law, obeyed the law, and exercised his First amendment rights to protest, to express his opinion, to question authority.

I always see, when I drive by or anywhere close to Boulder, Colorado, I see bumper stickers that say, 'Question Authority.' I think that's an American right and sometimes an obligation in this country.

How does that make you feel? As a woman of color, how does it make you feel that, for being an American, for exercising your constitutional rights, you are discriminated against?

We should make sure that our southern border is secure so that we don't allow more illegal immigrants to come into this country.

I also think it's important that we recognize that those who are here illegally should leave.

We are doing this country a great disservice when we continue to see the unemployment rolls swell while this country actively promotes sanctuary cities.

I also think we have to recognize that illegal immigrants have no role, should not be in this country.

I want to start by acknowledging the important role that legal immigrants and legal refugees play in my home State of Colorado and across this country.

I'm concerned that you've used Amazon's dominant market position to unfairly harm competition.

Will you certify here today that your company does not use and will never use slave labor to manufacture your products or allow products to be sold on your platform that are manufactured using slave labor?

Capitalism is the greatest instrument for freedom this world has ever seen.

This is the most bipartisan effort that I've been involved with in 5½ years of Congress.

I think it's important that we put that in perspective.

I want to thank Mr. Correa just briefly for his hard work on the TikTok bill and moving forward on that.

Thank you for holding this hearing to conduct oversight of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Unfortunately, the American left has been infected with the same totalitarian desire to remove firearms and silence opposing views as part of a campaign to achieve its political ends.

We know what the lack of reaction does.
