Ted Yoho: “I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding, who is a great friend of mine. I think the pictures you have up there…”

“I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding, who is a great friend of mine. I think the pictures you have up there speak a loud picture of the other side of the 21-day shutdown, of what is really going on. Yesterday and today, we have heard a lot from our Democratic colleagues about what 20 days was, what 21 days was. And, yes, there are people who have been furloughed; and, yes, it is tragic for them if they can't pay their bills. But we know this is a temporary inconvenience. We passed a bill today, in this Chamber, that will be signed into law that these people will be made whole. So it is a temporary inconvenience, and we don't like it. Neither side likes this. But when you look at the cause of this, when we go back to the cause of this--and we saw that meeting in the White House with Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and President Trump. After that, there was a press conference where she said not one penny will go to a wall. As you have illustrated so eloquently, how many times have President--or Senator Obama at the time, Senator Feinstein, Senator Schumer, and Ms. Pelosi supported a wall, border security, and the hypocrisy that it is okay then but it is not okay now because they want to label it ``Trump's wall.'' What this President is trying to do is fulfill all of our obligations to the Constitution, to uphold the Constitution from foreign and domestic enemies. Border security is something we all do, border security at our homes.…”
