Charles Rangel: “I ask that the gentleman from New York, Peter King, join with me at this time. It is a great honor for us at this time…”

I ask that the gentleman from New York, Peter King, join with me at this time. It is a great honor for us at this time to present to you a young lady who did it the hard way. She's earned it. She's here with her husband, Bill, her mother, Pat, her dad, Jack. Bill and Katie, the children, are here. And symbolic of what a great country that we have during this time, a person with her credentials can go to the voters, and show that in this great country of ours, the people govern. In order to give her the bipartisan support that she truly deserves, I would like to yield at this time to my friend, Peter King.
