Thom Tillis: “I am not going to get into the debate before the floor, but I heard the city of Asheville referenced at the last debate…”

“I am not going to get into the debate before the floor, but I heard the city of Asheville referenced at the last debate from the gentleman from Kentucky, and I have to tell you, I am not happy with that. I sat here last week and tried to do a unanimous consent request to fund the Small Business Administration loan, and my colleague from Kentucky objected. But don't pretend like this debate tonight has anything to do with Asheville, NC, a town that just got drinking water 2 days ago. You want to argue this, don't argue it on the merits of something that you objected to me trying to accomplish last week for the city of Asheville. I yield the floor. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Kentucky.”
