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.

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
