Political Quotes

On the recordMay 19, 1994
Jennifer Capriati, she beat Monica Seles, she beat Steffi Graf, she beat Tracy Austin, she beat Martina Navratilova. Ladies and gentlemen, Jennifer Capriati had defeated Chris Evert. Mr. Speaker, Jennifer Capriati was busted for drugs. The Jennifer Capriati case is not about American teens, I think it is more about American attitudes and values. When, at all costs, money, win, peewee football, little league baseball, not for youngsters to learn teamwork, but to get the big ring, put them under pressure to get it all. Ladies and gentleman, what have we done to our country and what have we done with our kids? This is a sad day. I say this: Good luck and God bless Jennifer Capriati in her fight now to defeat a very, very big opponent. I think it is time we all take a look in the mirror and see how we raise our children and what is really happening in America.
