Political Quotes

On the recordApril 6, 2022
I am prepared to close. I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, it might feel really good today for my opponents on the other side of the aisle. It might feel really good in a vindictive sort of way, to vote to put their political opponents behind bars. That might feel really good for my opponents across the aisle. But I guarantee you, the history will not look back kindly on those actions in the years to come. I guarantee it. It couldn't be anymore un-American what they want to do today, to vote to put two men behind bars purely because they disagree with their politics and the man that they worked for. I can't think of a bigger reason for my opponents to vote ``no'' on such an un-American resolution. I urge all of my colleagues to vote ``no'' and do the same. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

The American taxpayer should not be funding sexually explicit content for minors, it’s that simple. I’m proud to lead this bicameral effort in the Senate to ensure children aren’t exposed to explicit, sexual themes in the classroom.
