Political Quotes

On the recordJune 28, 2017
Congressional Republicans are doing that right here. They are playing politics with our Nation's security. To quote the New Jersey State Policemen's Benevolent Association again--these words are from the police, not me--`` . . . punishing our membership for something that is completely out of our control.''

That is a fact. You may laugh all you want, but that is a fact. I can cite you chapter and verse if you want. This is no laughing matter. This is business. This is the lives of the police. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are advised to address remarks to the Chair.
