Mr. President, I rise today to speak about a massive expansion of government that was fundamentally flawed from the start: the Affordable Care Act, better known as ObamaCare.

First off, folks, let me be very clear tonight, the election in 2020 was rigged and stolen. All the madness we see from the Biden administration, 2 million illegals, rising gas prices. Unbelievable inflation, the brink of war. All that…

So what I'm frustrated with is that we can't get our Republican leaders to investigate. They say, well, we've audited we looked at all that they have not. They have not done that.
