Anybody who can’t stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn’t deserve to lead.
You and I served together in Congress for 15 years. We didn't always agree, but I believe we shared some common values — a belief in defending democracy and human rights abroad and honoring the Constitution at home.
I keep saying I’m not vouching for Abrego Garcia. I’m vouching for his constitutional rights because all our rights are at stake.
At least for now, I don’t see the votes. Based on my reading of the end of the meeting, I don’t see the votes there right now for passing the House Republican bill.
