Richard Blumenthal: “I really regret this attack on a bill that was passed unanimously--Republicans, unanimously, and Democrats…”

“I really regret this attack on a bill that was passed unanimously--Republicans, unanimously, and Democrats, unanimously--a bipartisan bill by the House of Representatives. If my colleagues are serious about moving a bill to the desk of the President, only this bill will do it because only this bill has been passed by the House of Representatives. There is an urgency to this cause for the sake of these refugees who haven't been permitted to leave their country, haven't been sent by China, haven't simply come into this country as potential espionage agents. They have come here because they fought for freedom in their country. So to say that we have discovered that we need to stand up to China, sorry about that, but it is just preposterous.”
