I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, before I start making my remarks, the gentleman who just spoke is a member of the Republican Party. The Republican National Committee passed a resolution telling the American people--and they passed it overwhelmingly--that what they saw on January 6 was legitimate political discourse. A couple of law enforcement officers lost their lives, people were injured, people in the hallways yelling to hang the Vice President of the United States and to kill the Speaker of the House. Legitimate political discourse. {time} 1845
