Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I am so honored to speak on behalf of the people of the country that we serve, the oath that we have sworn, and bid some words of adoration and respect for our brother and friend, Louie Gohmert. I have described Louie as a living Founding Father. To those that have inquired as to whether I have known him, which from sea to shining sea, it is a common question as we travel in service to ``we the people,'' we are asked: ``Do you know this fellow? Do you know that lady?'' It is quite common to be asked: ``Do you know Louie Gohmert?'' I am honored to say yes. Louie has represented not just the people of his district, and by extension the Nation that we love and have sworn to serve, but he has represented the foundational core principles that gave birth to our Nation. In Matthew, the words of the Lord stated: ``Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.'' You, my brother Louie, should feel satisfied within your soul, good sir, because you have brought the very essence of pure principle and spirit to this great body. This Chamber shall forever resonate with your words and your love for God and country. I am honored to have worked with you, to call you brother and friend. {time} 1800”
