Jack Kingston: “the gentleman from Texas, speaking 10 minutes before the gentlewoman, went out of his way to say the Speaker Gingrich…”

“the gentleman from Texas, speaking 10 minutes before the gentlewoman, went out of his way to say the Speaker Gingrich fought the gift ban. Well, there is not a bigger misrepresentation of the facts I have heard in the last 24 hours. I have been home, so I am catching up on my rhetoric now that I have been in Washington a couple of hours. But as the gentlewoman knows, the gift ban passed with overwhelmingly bipartisan support and it was, in fact, the Speaker's idea to have a gift ban which we call an absolute gift ban, as opposed to one that had a $10 limit on it. So for a Member to say that the Speaker fought a gift ban, the gentlewoman and I both know it is absurd.”
