“I am very proud of my fellow Republicans. Last night we met for 3 hours and openly and honestly discussed our faults and our hopes for the future. We have heard and read the rumors about the nonexistent or alleged coup attempt, and we all know the Republicans do not always agree. But we decided to work together to overcome the obstacles that we have. I admire our leadership. They open themselves to the media every day. Their lives are scrutinized by the public microscope, and this makes us all very guarded. Yet last night they opened themselves, they were vulnerable, honest, and frank. Any differences we had yesterday morning are now behind us. We are looking forward now. As a team we are fighting for tax relief for working Americans. Together we will do all we can to overcome any reason, any excuse the opponents have to overcome tax relief, or to oppose tax relief. Eventually there will be only one vote for tax relief. It will be at the request of the American people, with the consent of Congress, and with the agreement of the President. Either Members are for tax relief or they are against it. The Republicans have come together to get tax relief for working Americans.”
