Political Quotes

“Mr. Chair, my colleague from the other side of the aisle just talked about electric vehicles and how clean they are. Well, let me ask you something. Why would you mine those critical minerals, Mr. Chair, in a foreign adversarial land under zero environmental standards and zero labor standards, when we can do it better here in this country? In the district that I have the privilege of representing, we have the biggest copper-nickel find in the world to help mine these critical minerals safely. My colleagues on the other side of the aisle and this administration, Mr. Chair, won't even let us mine those minerals here in the United States of America. They would rather have the polluting Chinese Communist Party mine these minerals and then say we want to get to this green energy and turn a blind eye to the atrocities and the child slave labor coming from the communist country of China and the Congo where 15 of those 19 industrial mines are owned by the Chinese communist country who employ child slave labor. Don't tell me that electric vehicles are cleaner.”
