Political Quotes

On the recordApril 27, 2018
The majority in this House has just exacted a great injustice. The unwarranted, unjust, forced resignation of a sworn officer of this United States House, the House Chaplain, Patrick Conroy, is a complete, complete violation of justice. It is also a complete violation of the rules of this House and the 229-year precedents of this House. As well, Speaker Paul Ryan's unilateral decision to remove the House Chaplain, who is elected by the entire membership of this House, is simply wrong. The Chaplain deserves just and fair treatment by every Member of this body that would attend to any Member who is subjected to such treatment or any citizen in our country who appears before the law. Every life in our Nation should matter. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
