"this is just nothing more than political theater to come here and somehow pretend as though these were peaceful protesters"

"Even just the nature of today's title, that somehow the U.S. Park Police attacked peaceful protesters is ludicrous."

"Upholding the First Amendment is not an absurdity train. Protecting the religious liberties of the people of this great country is not in any way absurd."

"The title of the hearing today, 'The Administration's Religious Liberty Assault on LGBTQ Rights,' is in itself, to me, a fundamental misconception of reality."
