“Friday marks the eighth anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I was Governor of Florida at the time. I remember the tar balls. I remember them coming up on our beautiful beaches--as the ambassador does; marine life covered in toxic sludge; the harm done to Florida's tourism and fisheries industries; and, of course, the tragic loss of life aboard the Deepwater Horizon itself. Mr. Speaker, I haven't forgotten it. Florida has not forgotten it. We must never have drilling off the Florida coast. We should take that argument off the table. ____________________”
