Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the occupant of the White House. Mr. Trump, you took an oath, just as I did 5 days ago, to protect and defend the Constitution and the American people. Sir, you dishonor that oath. You devalue the life of the immigrant, the worker, and the survivor. I see right through you and so do the American people. This has nothing to do with border security. Your shutdown, another Trump- generated crisis, has brought a tsunami of hurt on the American people. Today, I rise to lift the voices of the unheard. I rise today on behalf of the families concerned about feeding their children because their WIC benefits will run dry. I rise today in solidarity with the thousands of workers with calloused hands and broken spirits working for no pay. I rise today in support of the survivor fleeing violent hands, seeking safety, only to find the shelter door locked because of your shutdown. I rise today in support of the American people who believe in the promise of this Nation and ask for honest pay for an honest day's work. Today, I rise as one and I stand as thousands. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President of the United States. ____________________”
