John James actually said...

"The finger waving foreign policy is doing no one any good. We need more engagement, not isolation."

"Simply put, Russia is a destabilizing force in Africa that aspires to create power vacuums and exploit African countries in order to weaken U.S. and western influence."

"I would remind anybody here, or listening abroad that this is a hearing on the Russian Federation and its proxies."

"We will never divorce our foreign policy from human rights."
