Political Quotes

“Madam President, what we have just witnessed on the Senate floor, I think, is disgusting. All I ask for is a vote. By blocking the Senate from even voting on my amendment to add the Stop Taxpayer Funding of Hamas Act to this bill, Democrats have done the work of Hamas here in the U.S. Senate. Senate Democrats just made clear they are so terrified of losing the votes of radical, Hamas-loving leftists, they cannot bring themselves to vote on an amendment--all I want is a vote; if I can't win it, it is my problem--to vote on an amendment that simply states that we are not going to send money to thugs who brutally murdered 1,200 innocent people, including more than 30 Americans, and are still--they are still holding American hostages. We are giving money to Gazans that can help Hamas. They are holding American hostages, and we are going to give them money. I can't imagine this is where we are, and this bill is going to do nothing to address this, while approving billions of dollars of aid. We have an open southern border, we have hostages in Gaza, and we are going to give Gazans aid that we know is going to go straight to Hamas. If you look at the text that I read, there is nothing that is going to prevent this money from going there. All my bill says is that all the President has to do is certify that the money is not going to go to Hamas, and the money can go to Gaza. I am disappointed. I wish to retain the balance of my time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Kansas.”
