Megan called the IRS more than 50 times and never reached a real human being.

This was a coup organized by the president against the vice president and against the Congress in over -- in order to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

It will be, I think, both agonizing and riveting for the country to see how close we came to losing it all.

It’s a question of going forward. How are we going to fortify ourselves and fortify democratic institutions in processes against coups, and insurrections, and subversion in the future?

We know that there was a one line of attack, which was a violent insurrection, unprecedented in our history, which ended up injuring, wounding, hospitalizing more than 150 of our police officers and interrupting the peaceful transfer of…

Well, nobody wants to get left behind because the truth is coming out in the way it’s supposed to in a democracy.

Nobody wants to get left behind because the truth is coming out in the way that it`s supposed to in a democracy. There are lots of characters who are not known to the broad public today who were involved in this. It will be, I think both…

The Get Foreign Money Out Act is an attempt to address at least part of the problem revealed by what’s happening here which is the infusion of foreign government money or foreign corporate money into domestic corporations and then…

This is a down payment on corrupt relationships in the future. It’s an investment in the restoration of the Trump-ocracy, rather than, you know, the payoff for services rendered.

It was a money-making operation from the beginning. That’s the way I see it and I do fault the Democrats for not more aggressively pushing the foreign government emoluments that Donald Trump was raking in from Saudi Arabia and from the…

The ultimate expression of cancel culture was what took place on January 6, where 900 people entered this building unlawfully.

Nobody has been more patient than the great ranking member of this committee, Nancy Mace.

I would also just ask you to read page 59 in my book, We the Students about Board of Education v. PICO, which dealt with just precisely the process you are talking about, but where the Supreme Court still said you can't strip books from…

Thank you for writing this beautiful book, 'Ruby Bridges Goes to School', and thank you for defending everybody's academic and intellectual freedom.

Banning and censoring books benefits absolutely nobody.
