Political Quotes

“In the wake of troubling events in the Trump White House, I have one simple question: Where is the hearing? In less than a month, we have watched the credibility and security of our democracy endangered by a descent into scandal, distrust, and an authoritative environment. What are we going to do about it? I serve as the top Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee's IT subcommittee, yet I have heard nothing about a hearing to investigate Russia's cyber attacks on our elections. Where is the hearing? Officials are hawking the First Daughter's private clothing line from the White House. Where is the hearing? I sit on the Foreign Affairs Committee, and we have not had a discussion on Russia's potential blackmailing of our President or former NSA Director Flynn. Where is the hearing? The President's tweets show an utter lack of respect for our free press and independent judicial system, hallmarks of our democracy. Where are the hearings? Russia, election hacking, unconstitutional Muslim bans, gag orders on public servants, unfinished and unfiled ethics paperwork, politically motivated witch hunts against scientists and reporters, blackmail from a foreign government, and the list goes on and on. All of these deserve answers so, once again, I ask, where is the hearing? The people of Illinois and the American people deserve to know. They deserve a hearing. ____________________”
