I am going to follow up on this because this exchange to me was extremely illuminating because what we have here is the commissioner, who is the head of the Food and Drug Administration, and then we get a drive-by spray of propaganda…

I just want to thank you for your great devotion to the task here and you are a model public servant trying to advance the public interest at every turn.

If we want an effective, strong regulator, we have got to give them the authority and the resources to get the job done.

So, you advocated mandatory testing. You would like us to give you that regulatory authority?

What we have here is the commissioner, who is the head of the Food and Drug Administration, and then we get a drive-by spray of propaganda, disinformation, and ideological attacks.

If your wife was involved in the big lie and claiming that Donald Trump had actually won the presidential election, he absolutely should recuse himself.

There are no discrepancies. There is nothing--

Are you going to invite Donald Trump to come and talk about his violations of the Emoluments Clause?

There is no evidence, hundreds of thousands of pages of documents, dozens of hours of testimony, but not a shred of evidence of Presidential wrongdoing.

When you go to court, you have got to bring the evidence with you.

We can actually get things done, right?

We could focus on ending the crisis of gun violence in this country.

The people of our country are the ones paying the price for their failure to actually govern.

I urge my Republican colleagues to admit that their quest to impeach the President has completely collapsed.

I would humbly, respectfully ask my Republican colleagues on this Committee to stop falling over yourself to win the approval of one because millions of people are depending on you to defend our delicate democracy.

There was nothing that remotely approached the level of proof needed to support a finding of high crimes and misdemeanors.

It is time we put an end to this pathetic and desperate inquiry.

That just makes no sense.

How low can you get, that it is the Republicans' idea that this is the best guy they can get to testify against the President.

Then we have statements by Mr. Jordan saying that Mr. Smirnov was the most corroborating witness that the Republicans had.

By the constant bumbling and continually shifting arguments here, you have done nothing more than exonerate President Biden.

You have actually provided more evidence to impeach Donald Trump for a third time than you have in so much as laying a glove on President Biden.

At some point, when we hit a few brick walls, all of a sudden then I saw the shift between the BLT group, which included John Solomon, the media personality, and Rudy Giuliani, and other Trump lawyers, to start trying to push narratives…

In fact, Joe Biden was part of a global campaign, including by the United States, to oppose corruption and to go after the corrupt forces in Ukraine. Isn't that right?

Our colleagues are the ones loyally amplifying the actual Russian hoax, not the Russia hoax, the Russian hoax.
