Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 23, 2023
I thank the gentleman. Mr. Chair, we need more politicians reading books and fewer politicians trying to censor books in America. It is amazing to me to see politicians who oppose a universal violent criminal background check and who defend assault weapons after the massacres at Columbine; after Parkland, Florida; at Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut; after Uvalde; after Santa Fe, Texas, that they are now going to keep America's children safe by banning ``The Handmaid's Tale'' and ``1984.'' Mr. Chair, we can do better for the children of America.
