Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and show my support for our Nation's first responders and law enforcement officials. On September 14, we witnessed the assassination attempt of two Los Angeles County sheriff deputies in Compton, California. Just yesterday, we saw two more attacked in Louisville. As I speak on this floor, the 31-year-old female and 24-year-old male deputies who were brutally ambushed, thankfully, have been released from the hospital. The officers attacked yesterday, hopefully, will survive also. The support from across the country for these heroes is inspiring, even as the leftwing radicals shouted obscenities outside the hospital and yelled they hoped the officers would die. While the President pursues noble action through peace accords in the Middle East, the Democratic Party cannot find its voice in admonishing domestic terrorists targeting our brave law enforcement officers across the country. I stand with the President, with our law enforcement, and with the foundation of this country--respect for life, defense of liberty, and the protection of property. ____________________”
