Political Quotes

“I think my friend has left the floor. Maybe he hasn't left the floor, but let me read this message. They are going to reject it out of hand because it comes from the CPSC. The message says: For what it is worth, we never proposed a gas stove ban, period. Total nonsense. We had one commissioner say something in an interview, and then the chair shot it down, but there is no staff working on anything like this, no proposal to do anything like this. Same as saying that Congress is doing something because one Member of Congress is introducing the bill. Defund the police. An army of thousands from the IRS.

The Bible tells me the truth shall set you free. Be honest with America. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. Amendment No. 24 Offered by Mr. Perry The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 24 printed in part B of House Report 118-269.”
