Now that the Manchurian President has come back from meeting with his holders in Helsinki, we need to look at what is going on here. We were scolded today in another country by the President of the United States telling us how: Well, Russia has made mistakes. Well, we have made mistakes, too. When has a President ever done that? And all my colleagues do is sit over there and don't say a word. Let this have been some other President, it would be holy water in here. He attacks women all the time--Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Elizabeth Warren, Megyn Kelly, Hillary Clinton, you name it. But then stands there next to the person that had everything to do with our elections being rigged or held up, and he stands there and says: Well, he said he didn't do it. What is going on here? Is there any backbone? The President of the United States doesn't have a backbone. What did I see today? It used to be being called a communist was the worst thing you could call someone. Now they are our friends? Wake up. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Banks of Indiana). Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
