Political Quotes

“I thank you for the time. I recognize that you do not support the amendment, but some folks still cannot help themselves. This is not about the White House; it's about who lives in the White House. First, there was an amendment to cut his staff. Then there was an amendment that was taken away about not allowing him a teleprompter, and now there's an amendment that says you can't fix the leaks in the White House.
