“I would like to talk about hypocrisy and illiteracy. Ten days before Joe Biden left office, he raised the bounty on Nicolas Maduro to $25 million. Now, I don't know if my Democratic colleagues thought that he would go: Wow, $25 million, maybe I should just turn myself in. I would like to believe that when they put that bounty out there they actually believed he should be removed from office. There is an old Twitter post from President Biden that said: ``Trump talks tough on Venezuela, but admires thugs and dictators like Nicolas Maduro.'' Guess what, Mr. Speaker. I think President Trump showed in actions, not words, that he was determined to remove a drug lord, and that is what Nicolas Maduro was, from power. The President doesn't have to let us know every time they go and arrest somebody who has broken the law. That is exactly what happened here. Now I want to talk about illiteracy. My friend, the chairman, talked about people not understanding what is in the resolution. Before I got to Congress, I used to complain about really long bills that no one read before they voted on them. Well, this one is six lines long, and it doesn't talk about things like my colleague spoke about like escalation. This resolution deals with escalation. That is not what it does.”
