What I know is that Alex Jones was doing this because it fit into his world view, also because it got him ratings, because there is unfortunately a people out there removed from reality and willing to believe all of these wild concoctions…

I`m thrilled for the families. I was in touch with one of the lead plaintiffs, Erica Lafferty, whose mother was of the principal, the heroic principal at Sandy Hook Elementary, his evening. And I`m glad that Alex Jones and his movement is…

In today`s Republican Party, you get canceled for crossing party lines and applauded for publicly fantasizing about the murder of Democrats.

Well, listen. I think people are openly questioning whether democracy works for them any longer. They are openly entertaining other offers which is why Trump`s neo-authoritarianism appeals to so many voters.

I think that`s an important script for us to follow moving forward, tell people what they`re getting but also tell people that we`re taking something from the folks that have frankly been fleecing the regular folks in this country for the…

I think that what you are seeing come together is extraordinary and historic. And I think Joe Biden`s first year will go down as possibly the most consequential and impactful first year of any president in our lifetime.

I would just ask unanimous consent for two incredibly qualified, noncontroversial Administrators at USAID. Isobel Coleman is the nominee to be the USAID Deputy Administrator. She is a seasoned foreign policy professional who has been…

I come to the floor today to seek unanimous consent to proceed to the consideration of two very qualified nominees to USAID. They are the kind of nominees who, in previous Congresses, would have been approved, without debate, through voice…

C.J. Brown was 7 years old. He was a second grader at Clarksdale Collegiate academy in Mississippi. Clarksdale, MS, is a relatively small town of 15,000 people. Everybody knows each other in Clarksdale. C.J. was described as a really…

it takes a lot of guts to come down to this committee and lecture the Administration about the conduct of foreign policy

I think it is absolutely critical. I am arguing that the Administration double-down on our involvement.

We need to be positioned in order to counteract that narrative and that is why it is so egregious that we do not have ambassadors and that we have had a log jam here in Congress trying to get our diplomatic team deployed to Europe.

we were denied the ability to move two nominees that under any other administration would have gone by voice vote.

reserving the right to object, Senator Lee is right--the relationship between the United States and Britain is unique, and it is special. They are often the first to come to our aid when we are in need, when we need partners around the…

What are you doing here? If you don`t meet with your constituents and you spend all your time doing everything except talking to them, legislating, all while holding up your party`s entire agenda, maybe you know, you don`t want to be…

They see the lack of our ability to get over this pandemic because of our inability to get people vaccinated, as a barrier to folks going back to work.

I appreciate that he shares a view on vaccines with many other Republicans. I will just say my constituents see it differently in Connecticut.

Vaccine mandates, whether they be public sector or private sector mandates that is a way to get people back into the workforce.

reserving the right to object. Yesterday, Tallahassee Memorial Hospital disclosed that 82 people died inside their healthcare system from COVID over the course of the month of September. That is the worst month on record for that hospital…

If confirmed, rule of law reform and combating corruption would be among my top priorities.

Advancing human rights must continue to be a central priority in our China policy.

I want to underscore that the United States strongly supports NATO's open door policy and the membership aspirations of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Our presence, our engagement, is critically important to motivating and pressing the domestic parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina to do the right thing.

The key challenge there and one I will make a priority, if confirmed, is to encourage the Government to press forward with its reform program.

We are for a democratic, prosperous, multi-ethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina that takes its place in the Euro-Atlantic family of nations.
