The idea of creating a fund that could compensate people who assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable.

There's clearly been an effort by some to rewrite that history, but I don't expect it'll work.

My hope is the administration will drop it, drop the idea entirely.

People that assaulted police officers on Jan. 6, and vandalized our Capitol should not get one dime of taxpayer money from that fund or anywhere else.

I think character, integrity to principle, are enormously important in the life of our movement, in the life of our nation.

I think it's important that we take a moment as a party and as a movement to remind ourselves what we believe.

This talk of a weaponization fund, the idea of creating a fund that could compensate people that assaulted police officers and vandalized the Capitol that day is totally unacceptable.

I’ll never minimize what happened on January 6. I’ll always believe, by God’s grace, we did our duty that day… the peaceful transfer of power under the Constitution.

I think we've got to get back to those core values and principles that have always made our country and our party strong and prosperous.

And I think that’s broadly held by most Republicans and most Americans.

I will never minimize what happened on January 6, and I'll always believe, by God's grace, we did our duty that day to the seat of the peaceful transfer of power under the Constitution.

I mean, it’s deeply offensive to me that you could have a fund that could even possibly compensate people who assaulted police officers or vandalized the Capitol on January 6th.

I just want to make sure people understand that as we sort through all these elections this year, that there's a new force afoot in the Republican party.

I wrote 'What Conservatives Believe' because just in the last four or five years, there's been a rise of what I call the populist right, that focuses more on what we're against than what we're for.

I think that’s broadly held by most Republicans and most Americans.

Character, integrity to principle, are enormously important in the life of our movement, in the life of our nation.

The way that he did. So you know we have, we haven't chatted in a while, but yeah, I, you know, I'll be honest with you, that I'll never minimize what happened on January 6.

[Trump] ought to pick up the phone and ask Majority Leader John Thune to immediately pass the secondary sanctions bill that is supported by virtually everyone in the United States Senate.

I served alongside the president for four years. I know his style in dealing with these dictators. It’s the velvet glove, but I think the hammer needs to come, and it needs to come immediately.

I’m also going to be praying that it’s a productive time and a unifying time among all the leaders in the West and the president and President Zelensky.

I think the time has come for the administration to release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's investigation and prosecution.

Well, I've been a critic of the Fed over the years.

Jeffrey Epstein's prosecution began during the Bush administration, continued through the Obama years.

The time has come for the administration to release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s investigation and prosecution.

I just think we ought to get the facts to the American people, and I've always believed in transparency.
