Political Quotes

“Mr. President, it is my great privilege to say a very few words in introduction of my friend and fellow Senator, Eric Schmitt, as he prepares to give his maiden speech on this floor. We haven't worked together very long in the Senate, but we have known each other for some time, and I just want to say that if you look at Senator Schmitt's record, the people of Missouri are tremendously fortunate to have him, and he is already doing tremendous work for them. As attorney general, Eric led the way in taking on the Biden administration and holding them accountable for their abuses of power. He led the way in taking on Big Tech and holding them accountable for what they tried to do to our children, what they tried to do to our elections, and what they tried to do to our speech. And already now in the U.S. Senate, he is holding the deep state--the administrative state--accountable, standing up for ordinary, normal, everyday working Missourians who deserve to have a voice in this Chamber, who deserve to have a voice in their government. And he has been standing here fighting for them. I can't wait to continue to have the privilege to serve with him, and I can't wait to hear his remarks today. So with that, Mr. President, I yield the floor to the Senator from Missouri, Eric Schmitt. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Missouri.”
