Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I came to Congress in April 2010 committed to standing up to Iran's malign activities, and support for Hizballah is a prime example. As I prepare to conclude my time in this Chamber, I urge my colleagues to continue to unite the world against Iran's terror proxies and to boldly take action to ensure Iran never has nuclear weapons; never forgets that the U.S. will always stand against its human rights violations, against its support for terror, against its anti-Semitism, against its call for Israel's destruction, against its unlawfully detention of Americans--Morad Tahbaz, Emad Sharghi, Siamak Namazi, Baquer Namazi, and refuses to bring closure to the family of Bob Levinson. My colleagues, we must continue to stand up to Iran's aggression. Today's vote is a vote to urge our European allies to designate all of Hizballah--what it is--an Iran-backed terror proxy. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleagues for their cooperation on this bill, and I thank them for their friendship all these many years.”
