He was one of the few Republicans to support the impeachment of Trump and served on the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot.
I think, you know, it takes a lot to change an army from Warsaw equipment basically to NATO equipment.
I actually really do believe that if Vladimir Putin moves in on NATO territory, he would be met with a devastating response.
Ukraine is fighting for all of us. They happen--we have to arm them because they are fighting for all of us.
It's quite obvious that he's failed at that. And he continues to push a narrative that's false. He continues to defend people, pushing false narratives. And that's wrong.
I thank the gentleman for yielding time. Dan Scavino's blatant disregard for our subpoena is his effort to ensure that Congress and the American people never get the firsthand story that he has to tell. None of us should find that…
Democracies aren’t defined by bad days or bad things that happened but how they defend it and how they come back from that.
We are not, as the committee, out to throw people in jail. We can have criminal referrals, like we do against Mark Meadows because he has denied legitimate requests from Congress to come in repeatedly.

The bottom line for the committee is this. Was there an effort to overturn the legitimate election of the United States?
The question for the committee is, this or any exchange, was there a conspiracy or an attempt to come up with a reason, or how close did we get to overturning an election?
People are willing to die for democracy. We at least have to be willing to put careers on the line for the same cause.

This is important. We're going to get to the bottom of this. And as we're seeing in Ukraine, people are willing to die for democracy.
We have to give them everything they need to win this war, because we've made it clear we're not going to intervene directly.
I have talked to Ukrainian members of Parliament, those out advocating for what's needed on the ground as well. And they say they need these.
Maybe we ought to look at supporting some of our allies, fighting Russians and other areas as well.
I do worry what happens when this goes into chemical weapons. And I think the president should make it very clear that weapons of mass destruction are a very, very bright red line that NATO will enforce.
Vladimir Putin has no right to contest the skies over Ukraine in the first place. And Ukraine has a right to defend their skies, even if that involves partner.
What more he believes the United States may be able to do to help Ukraine.
I think we have to do it. This is the one thing that Russia actually makes money on as their energy. And so it may be painful, but I think we absolutely have to ban those imports.
