Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 23, 2025
Thank you to Katie Britt, the tough-as-nails Senator who will never quit, before I sit--I just can't stop myself. And thanks to Elizabeth, we should have all the poems put into the Senate Record. So with that, I would like to ask unanimous consent that all six participants, including the two I didn't name--Gabriel, where is Gabriel? Solid, solid piece of work. I was splitting hairs, splitting hairs. The only thing that dissed you was: The Capitol subway is my home. It rides underneath the great dome. I thought it was a lie that the subway is your home. I see you rarely on the subway. So your poetic genius was there; I dinged you because it was not truthful. And then the other name I want to give is Xavier, where is Xavier? Where is Xavier? Xavier is not here; that is why Xavier did not get--I knew he would not be here. It is terrible. It is terrible. That's what we pages are meant to observe. And to learn from others the pride to serve. I see no pride in his not being here right now. But I will say that they deserve to be in the Senate Record. So, again, all six poems, all six participants will be there. I ask unanimous consent that all six poems be printed in the Record. Katie, thank you for your kind words, and we turn the Senate back over to its usual programming. Although I do not think anything that will happen on this floor will be as fun as the fun that Katie and I just had. Thank you very much.…

This is unjust. This is wrong. It is the further deterioration of this committee’s integrity with a person like this.
