Bill Pascrell: “Surrendering to Russia. Weak on China. Are we serious about Israel? We are ignoring the humanitarian crisis which exists…”

“Surrendering to Russia. Weak on China. Are we serious about Israel? We are ignoring the humanitarian crisis which exists there. This is strong for millionaire tax cheats. These are the House Republican priorities. Madam Speaker, I am tired of listening to the attempts to divide us more. The last speaker is a perfect example. I have great respect for the gentleman, but it simply divides Americans more. I am sorry he left. He is saying that basically Republicans care about what happened on that terrible day when Hamas attacked; and that Democrats, where are they really? We have been very specific, and the Senate has been very specific. We have matters at hand. The catastrophe that happened affected so many Israelis and, as a consequence, many, many Palestinians. Very few belong to Hamas. But that is simply a footnote, right? House Republicans are using an international crisis, and I agree with the ranking member of the Rules Committee, but they want to pass a millionaires' tax break. The toxic political document would let rich tax cheats off the hook. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 2 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey.”
