Eleanor Holmes Norton actually said...

"I don't believe you are dishonest and I don't believe that you are political."

"I don't see targeting, even. I don't see confusion."

"I want to congratulate these two civil servants for having the courage to come forward before this committee."

"I wouldn't want to be in your position to look first at the words 'exclusively,' then 'primarily,' and then trying to figure it out."
