“I thank the kind gentleman from Texas for yielding. And it was easier dealing with the south end than the north end of the horse, and the stuff that comes out was easier to wash off. I am sure I am like you. I get a lot of people who call me, especially in the last week. Here is a message a good friend of mine sent. My 85-year old mother, who is always very calm and nice, last night looked at me and said: You need to call your Congressman. You need to call him and ask him what we can do. We have to do something to stop these ``idiots'' for tearing down statues and burning the flag. Patty, his wife, jumped and said: Yeah, what can we do? I was at a loss for words. What can we do? Just spinning a little bit. My response to him was these people will be arrested. They will be charged, and they will have to pay the fines for damaging that property. And being a Christian, as I know you are, Louie, this, too, shall pass. We have to have the faith that this country will live beyond us. And, I have had the privilege of being chairman of the Asia Pacific Subcommittee last Congress, and I am the ranking member this Congress, which means you are the lead Republican. And we have dealt with the Asia Pacific theater. We have dealt with Hong Kong, and we all know Hong Kong is a province of China. There was an agreement in 1997, for 50 years Hong Kong was supposed to be ruled as a semiautonomous region and an independent judiciary.…”
