As my colleague said, we already have the service, and it is supported. The problem that I find is taking this office and converting it into a mechanism to support the same people we were supposed to give refuge to our victims from. Mr. Chair, I urge my colleague to come clean, come to the table, and tell the American people why he opposes funding another office to help victims on a very targeted basis instead of funding the office to actually go help the people who are causing harm and the purpose of why the office was established. Mr. Chair, I find it troubling that we can't simply put America first when it comes down to discussing it with the other side of the aisle. It is a sad day for America, and it is very unfortunate that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle don't see the necessity to protect angel families. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.

It's over. But, what reaction? The House voted, that's their vote. Sure. They just set a new dangerous precedent for themselves. Why would I want to stay here? To hell with this place.
