Political Quotes

“President Trump has threatened to build his wall and has put out of work over 800,000 Americans through his Trump shutdown, and just today he doubled down on a threat to declare a national emergency so he could usurp Congress and trample on our Constitution. These bully tactics may have worked running his business, but they will not work running our country. Let me promise the American people right now, Democrats in Congress will fight and disallow Trump to waste your hard-earned taxpayer dollars on his ridiculous wall. That is why I have introduced legislation to stop the wall. My This Land Is Our Land Act will counter the many threats Trump has made to get his medieval and ineffective wall: It won't allow him to build it on public land; it won't allow him to take away people's private land by using eminent domain; and, most importantly, it won't allow him to use fake national emergencies. So let me finish by paraphrasing Ronald Reagan: Mr. Trump, give up your wall. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________”
