This is about whether it is okay to hold an assault rifle next to members' heads in a campaign ad and incite death threats against them. This is about whether it’s okay to encourage the murder of the speaker of the House. As a survivor of…
This is about whether it is acceptable to chew on and encourage an insurrection against our basic democratic process.
This is not about one Member. This is about who we are as a body and what we are as a democracy. This is about whether it is acceptable to cheer on and encourage an insurrection against our basic democratic processes. This is about whether…
Sadly, this is the Republican playbook. We saw it with Donald Trump that anytime they are faced with consequences for their actions to undermine our democracy. They blame Muslims, they blame immigrants. They blame black people, they blame…
Let`s be clear, this is a desperate smear rooted in racism, misogyny and Islamophobia. The House Republican caucus, instead of holding her accountable is now fanning the flames. Republicans will do anything to distract from the fact they…
The Republicans truly have lost their way. Their party is destroyed. Their base now is conspiracy theorists, it`s cowards, it`s opportunists, it`s grifters. And sadly, they`re becoming the Looney Tunes.
They can show leadership. They can decide not to turn the key over -- the key of their party over to this conspiracy theorist, white supremacist, violent and dangerous member of Congress. They can hold her accountable.
Millions of Americans across the country are suffering. People went out on November 3 and voted for change. They wanted us to be bold and deliver transformative change.
For Mitch McConnell, who said that he was the Grim Reaper, that he took pride in the fact that the Senate was where good ideas went to die... to now talk about how he wants us to wait for him and to work with him is laughable.
I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. Let us not mince words about what happened last week. It was a violent attempt to interrupt our democratic process. It was a targeted blow at the most essential process that makes us a…
This is someone who has and will continue to pose a direct threat to all of us. And if we do not act today...
Our nation has seen just how fragile our democracy has been, just the danger of President like Trump poses and what happens when people are complacent to the warnings of that danger.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota came out today encouraging that the President be impeached because of this phone call he had with Georgia as Secretary of State saying that he has committed a crime.
Mitch McConnell said he's proud to be the Grim Reaper, and that's becoming a reality for so many Americans as they struggle under his leadership in the Senate, who refuses to care about the American people.
I agree with Clyburn that it is not enough for us just to issue subpoenas. We have to investigate and prosecute these people who are responsible for these reckless deaths.
We have gotten Americans to the point of breaking, they are so economically devastated. And this is the doing of the leaders of our country.
My father should be here today. So many of our family members should be here today. And they're not here with us because we had leaders who didn't care about their lives.
And I'm hopeful that people can see that this is a -- this creates a historical pattern for the president. And it's not a one-off instance. But it is the way he is.
I mean, our role has been to push the Democratic Party towards progress and to really address the persistent challenges that many of our communities are dealing with, after decades and decades of social and economic neglect.
It was really quite demeaning. And I think it was an opportunity for people to make the connection in the ways in which he has in the past demeaned women.
The best way to truly demonstrate our commitment to our partnership with South Korea is to call for a formal end to war.
It is quite strange to me that we talk about Saudi Arabia as a partner in peace and stability in the Middle East.
A country that dismembers journalists because it doesn't like what they write is not a country that should see a single dime of American taxpayer money.
'Helping the Nation's troops fight rapidly spreading extremism is critical for regional stability,' U.S. military official said.
