Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 10, 2020
Madam President, I want to remind people of how Senator Johnson and I have been attacked over the months of 2020 for some investigation we have been doing, and I want to speak to that now. For over a year, Senator Johnson and I investigated the Biden financial family dealings. We found that they engaged in potential criminal financial deals across the globe, including China, which created counterintelligence concerns. We showed our work, and we made our findings very public, but the liberal media and members of the other political party chose to dismiss our work. They even falsely claimed that our work was Russian disinformation. I think they did this in order to protect leaders of the other party. Those same liberal outlets that disparaged our investigation now report that Hunter Biden's financial deals in China raised counterintelligence concerns. Yesterday, the Biden transition team confirmed that Hunter Biden is under criminal investigation for his taxes and financial dealings. So you can understand why I think it is very outrageous that the Fourth Estate would choose to ignore facts when they are uncovered by Republicans. Senator Johnson and I don't do oversight work just for the fun of it. Oversight work is serious business. It shouldn't take subpoenas and confirmation from Hunter Biden himself to get the rest of the press to pay attention. I yield the floor. ____________________
