On the recordNovember 17, 2021
I love freedom. I love George Washington. I keep this book on my desk, ``George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour.'' I encourage every colleague in this body--every one of us--to keep this on your desk and refer to it. I have heard everything talked about today--inflation, Afghanistan, schools--except the issue we are here for: a censure of a Member of Congress who issued a despicable video showing the killing of a fellow Member of Congress. Worst of all, most despicable of all, the object of the censure said it was to attract a new generation. Think about that: to attract a new generation of Americans. We have to do better, my friends. Come on. To my friend from Virginia who said, if Democrats had done this, what would we do? Rest assured, my friends, every one of you, we would do the same thing because I will never ever allow a fellow Member of Congress to threaten or distribute a video showing the killing of one of us, let alone another American.
