We have to send, as a Nation, as Republicans and Democrats, a very strong message that, even if we found everybody involved in the 2016 election... we will continue to watch for signs of anybody who had any involvement.

I just respectfully say that I will oppose the gentleman's substitute amendment and support the underlying bill.

But that can be a disadvantage when Vladimir Putin puts out disinformation.

Russian trolls will amplify any message that seeks to divide Western democracy and sow discord and chaos.

Prior to the 2016 election, Russia engaged in one of the most sophisticated information operations to date against the United States.

As long as Putin's hold on power remains unchallenged, he will continue to meddle in Western democracy.

I think the reality is Russia tried to interfere in the 2016 election.

This was not the first time that Russia has used disinformation or malign influence to interfere in the democratic process.

I believe that we must go on the offensive.

Any major disruption in the transatlantic economy would be devastating to the world.

However, I do not believe that aluminum and steel imported from Europe poses a national security threat to our Nation.

I recognize and share the President's interest in protecting American workers, innovation, and business from unfair trading practices.

I believe in free and fair trade and I believe that free trade increases global security while creating jobs here in the United States.

Over the years, we have watched Vladimir Putin weaponize natural gas across the region.

The United States must stand with our NATO and EU allies to protected our shared values and security by pushing back against Putin's power grab.

I think he came close enough that any other provocation would actually lead to a strike probably bigger than was planned last night.

I think the sanctions are working.

I said you have to treat President Obama and this decision with the same standard you would treat a Republican president.

I certainly think there is a risk. Look, the president has every right to not strike and I disagree with that decision. I think the problem is how publicly this played out putting out basically an era, putting out a line and backing away…

I think it is important at the top of this that we note that when we talk about Iran, we are talking about the government and not the people, two very different things and I think that is important to distinguish.

I make that point, sir, for those that think this is some amazing deal that will last perpetually into the future that we are already halfway to the beginning of this deal starting to expire, and we saw only worse behavior from Iran.

We don't look for a war with Iran, but I think nobody should doubt that we would win if something like that was brought to our doorstep.

We cannot, we must not sell out our national defense and foreign policy to any kind of mistrust like that.

It's his tone, how you talk to allies, how you reach out and build alliances.

We don't seek conflict but I think Iran needs to be very much understanding that if there is a conflict, it will be one-sided and we'll win even though we don't want that.
