Madison Cawthorn: “The energy crisis created by the Russian hack of the Colonial Pipeline is impacting my district in the worst possible…”

“The energy crisis created by the Russian hack of the Colonial Pipeline is impacting my district in the worst possible way. Gas prices have skyrocketed. Lines are forming all across the great State of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I am here today to say what few politicians will, but what most of the Americans believe. We were attacked. We were attacked by a foreign entity, and the current administration has done nothing in response. When our leadership is weak, our Nation suffers. You don't believe me? Take a look outside. Our border has dissolved into ruin, gas prices are skyrocketing, and the dollar is worth less and less each day. Israel is burning, China is rising, and Russia attacks our homeland. All the while, the American people wonder when this administration will finally grow a backbone and stand firm against a growing wave of international tyranny. President Biden is weakening our defenses. The wolves are at the gates, and America's leader is asleep at the wheel. But you know what? Thank heavens we have a President who doesn't tweet mean things anymore. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________”
