Steny Hoyer: “First let me say that I respect the gentleman's service in the United States Navy as I respect all of our men and women…”

On the recordDecember 14, 2021
First let me say that I respect the gentleman's service in the United States Navy as I respect all of our men and women in the Armed Forces of the United States. Let me end as I began. All of us ought to vote for this motion to hold somebody in contempt who refuses to come forth, who is clearly and, obviously, in contempt of the Congress of the United States. I urge every Member on behalf of this institution, not on behalf of any political party; on behalf of our democracy, not on behalf of Democrats; on behalf of the Constitution of the United States to vote ``yea'' on this resolution.
