Al Franken actually said...

"Like the Members of this Committee, one of my highest priorities as a Senator is making sure that our veterans and their families get every benefit that they deserve."

"The veterans of the cleanup of the Enewetak Atoll have not gotten the benefits that they earned."

"Unfortunately, my colleagues across the aisle seem to be in denial about the real cost of climate change and for some of them whether climate change even exists."

"So clearly, climate change has a cost, and this cost is having a serious impact."
