Political Quotes

On the recordMay 18, 2017
I rise yet again to challenge you to put country before political party. For too long, candidate and now President Trump has been playing a game of dangerous liaisons with Vladimir Putin and his Russian regime. He called on Russian spies--that is right, the KGB--to hack his opponent. He fired the Acting Attorney General who warned him. He fired the FBI Director investigating him. And he has shared highly classified intelligence with Russia, posing a direct threat to our brave assets on the ground. When is enough enough? Mr. Speaker, how much longer before you do your job and bring up the bipartisan Protecting Our Democracy Act that is cosponsored by 199 Members of this House? Show us that you have the courage to put country before political party. Show us that you meant it when you said ``against all enemies, foreign and domestic.'' Show us that you will do what is right by our country and stand up to this President. ____________________
