Political Quotes

“I again remind Congress that Ukraine is not the 51st State of America. This is not a NATO ally, and this is our National Defense Authorization Act, for our Nation, for the United States of America with 50 States. I would also like to remind Congress that the Department of Defense has failed its audit every single year, year over year. Last year alone, they could not account for over 61 percent of their assets. The Department of Defense is not doing a good job with the money that Congress allows for it to have for our Nation's defense, and I think that it is important, again, for everyone in Congress to realize the American people don't work hard every single day to pay for other countries' borders to be defended. They want our border defended. We have 300 Americans dying every single day from fentanyl poisoning that is coming from China and the Mexican cartels. If our Department of Defense wants to defend America, we should be defending our border and not proclaiming our righteousness talking about a war in Ukraine. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.”
