Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, our colleague who says they want us to bring down the high cost of living is like the arsonist who sets the fire and then comes out to help put it out. Mr. Speaker, the Senate's funding proposal is not worth the paper it is printed on. Frankly, it would be better used as kindling in a fireplace. I said it in the Rules Committee, and I will say it again here on the floor: We will be darned if we go down the road of undercutting the progress that our Republican majorities and President Trump have made in securing the border: a record low of encounters of illegal aliens, a dramatic reduction in fentanyl trafficking, and a return to law and order that was robbed from the American people for 4 years under the previous administration. Those are the things that would be sacrificed if we passed the Senate's proposal that is nowhere near being up to scratch. The people's House will not bend itself into submission by acquiescing. Let me make one other point very clear, Mr. Speaker. Our Democrat colleagues love to dust off the same withered line that Republicans are the ones responsible for DHS being shut down because we control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. If we had a dollar for every time they trotted out that line, DHS could be funded multiple times over.”
