Political Quotes

“Madam President, it is clearly apparent by listening to this debate, if Senator Sanders had been on the PEB board, the PEB board wouldn't be making a recommendation and the President wouldn't be behind it.

And I would be willing to bet that 27 paid leave days probably is more than some of the European countries.”
