Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 6, 2019
we have been making the case for the last several weeks that our Republican colleagues love to get up and rant about what they are against even though they exaggerate and tell mistruths about the bill Senator Markey has sponsored. Yet we have been asking repeatedly, haven't we, three questions: Do you believe climate change is real? Do you believe it is caused by human activity? Most importantly, what would you do about it? Here we have had an hour of debate, haven't we, with our Republican colleagues, and there have been a lot of mistruths and a lot of ``here is what we are against'' but not one single thing they are for. So isn't it true, my friend from Massachusetts, that they have helped to make our case? We are glad they are finally talking about climate change, but we have to do something about it. Isn't it true we haven't heard a single positive response about what they would do?
