Political Quotes

“Madam Chair, I want you to imagine that a friend came over to you and said: Donald Trump taught me how to save 50 percent on my shoe purchases. All you have to do is cut off one leg. It is just math, as the gentleman from Arizona says. So let's get out the saw and head to Foot Locker. Now, Madam Chair, if you were a good friend, you would tell them: You are crazy, and you need to stop thinking that Donald Trump likes you. Nonetheless, here we are today talking about the idea that we are going to save money by gutting Medicaid; slashing food assistance; defunding white-collar law enforcement, the police; and exploding budget deficits so that we can do what Donald Trump told you he wants: Give a $4\1/2\-trillion tax cut to the wealthiest Americans. So I would say to my Republican colleagues as a friend: Donald Trump doesn't like you. He doesn't really like anybody. He just assumes that you will never find the courage to stand up to him so he is going to keep asking you for more until you finally do. If you are sick of being bullied and if you are ready to act like the leaders you claim to be and make sure that we leave this country in a little better shape than we found it, then grow a spine and vote hell no on this budget resolution. The Acting CHAIR. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President.”
