Yvette Clarke said "I thank the gentlewoman from Illinois for her words and for really laying out the framework for which this Congress needs to act. She said that it is a shame and a disgrace. I agree wholeheartedly. But I think that even more, our Republican colleagues need to search their souls, particularly those who claim to be of the Christian faith, which is the faith that I practice. Indeed, they are going to be called to account for their inaction. All I would ask is that the Lord have mercy on their souls, because there is blood on their hands. Mr. Speaker, having said that, I yield to the gentlewoman from the Third District of Ohio, Mrs. Joyce Beatty, an outspoken advocate, one who comes from a State where, again, gun rights are something that people pride themselves in. Commonsense gun measures are something that everyone is crying out for." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
