Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 17, 2019
Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I want to just remind our distinguished ranking member, when he talks about quoting from the courts, we might want to look at what the Supreme Court said about the language that Secretary Ross used in our committee, because it is the same language used in the Supreme Court case. What the Supreme Court said was that that was ``contrived,'' and that is a quote, and incongruent with what the record reveals. In other words, he was saying it was not accurate. He may have come to testify before us, but it wasn't accurate. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands (Ms. Plaskett), a member of our committee.

I'm not talking about people that come from, as the President said, s-h-holes. These are human beings, human beings, just trying to live a better life.
