Bennie Thompson actually said...

"Holding a focused and comprehensive hearing on election security is not a partisan or complicated request."

"I am extremely disappointed that Chairman McCaul has already backtracked on his public promise to hold a much-needed hearing on election security and the on-going Russia cyber threat."

"Chairman McCaul often reiterates his opposition to Russia, but actions speak louder than words."

"If Chairman McCaul believes Russia will interfere in the 2018 elections, as he has stated, we cannot ignore this threat."
