Political Quotes

“We are here a week too late, not because we didn't know what our citizens and businesses needed, but because too many in the congressional swamp felt that you never let a serious crisis go to waste: filling this important bill with pork and earmarks, like $25 million to the Kennedy Center, $57 million to NPR, $75 million to the National Endowment for the Humanities instead of more masks and ventilators. But, Mr. Speaker, many Americans do need our thanks: Thank you to the frontline healthcare workers who selflessly and compassionately care for victims of the Wuhan virus. Thank you to President Trump for his leadership and for his transparency with the American people in this time of crisis. Thank you to my anesthesiologist colleagues who have stepped up to the challenge. They are trained in intensive care, and the ventilators on their anesthesia machines could prove critical if this fight escalates. Finally, thank you to all those Americans who followed the President's recommendation on 15 Days to Slow the Spread of the Wuhan virus.”
