Political Quotes

I thank the distinguished chairlady of the CBC. The people of America deserve a Congress that does the business of the people and that deals with real issues that impact working families, the middle class, senior citizens, the poor, the sick, and the afflicted. Instead, we get an agenda from the majority in the House of Representatives that is all about delay, destruction, and delegitimization of the President of the United States of America. This is a frivolous lawsuit that lacks any basis in law or in fact, and we need to get beyond the political gamesmanship and get back to doing the business of the people. I am pleased that we have been joined by the gentlewoman from the Badger State, Representative Gwen Moore, a distinguished member of the Budget Committee. I am honored to serve with her, a champion for working families, the poor, and the middle class.
