Eliot Engel actually said...

"partisanship must end at the water's edge."

"The committee's work on Africa has looked like the vast majority of the work this committee has done under Ed's chairmanship."

"There is not a member of this body who has done more than you when it comes to American engagement across the African continent."

"We always say that the Foreign Affairs Committee is the most bipartisan committee in Congress and we always say that partisanship should stop at the water's edge."
