Political Quotes

On the recordMay 11, 2023
The other side, respectfully, Republicans, created a once-in-a-century crisis, once in a century. They are holding this sham debate to distract us. In 2021, Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan. It had a very strong fraud protection section. I hope you read it. Our unemployment aid was a gigantic success, by the way. It kept families together and it saved lives. Republicans claim to care about misuse, but when we passed real fraud protections, every single one of you voted ``no.'' That is the record. It is clear. House Republicans are harboring a disgraced fraudster who was just arrested on unemployment fraud. You cannot make this up. We are prosecuting fraud. States recovered over $100 million. Enforcement is working. This is not about fraud or about saving money. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair.
