James Comer: “I am prepared to close, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, the U.S. House of Representatives…”

“I am prepared to close, and I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, the U.S. House of Representatives should focus on helping the American people survive economic turmoil and defending our borders and national security. I urge House Democrats to get back to what the American people elected us to do: Conduct oversight over the Federal Government and the Biden administration, which is on a path to destroy America. We need to hold hearings, conduct oversight, and pass legislation addressing the crises affecting America today. That is our constitutional responsibility. But instead, we are spending valuable resources and time on divisive political messaging bills. I am just amazed that the Democrats advocate for legislation on the House floor pertaining to the Census, which would ask a question about your sexual preference, but they want to pass legislation to oppose asking the question whether you are a legal citizen or not. That is just another example of tone-deaf leadership. That is not what the American people want. Mr. Chairman, I oppose H.R. 8326, and I urge my colleagues to do the same. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.”
