Political Quotes

“Why would a Speaker of this House choose to enable the aims of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin? Why would any Speaker of the United States House of Representatives use his power to stop and dawdle for months and months, delaying critical supplemental defense funding to defend America against all its enemies at home and abroad that impose tyranny and terrorism? All of us take an oath to protect and defend our people against all enemies, so why give Vladimir Putin comfort and license as he salutes himself in the mirror? The manner in which House leadership is behaving by not bringing up a key defense bill month after month after month fails liberty where she is being most tested. Our Nation must move with our allies to defeat terrorism and tyranny wherever it exists--Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, the Pacific, and even sometimes inside our own borders. Inaction by House leadership empowers enemies of liberty. It rewards Putin, Khamenei, Xi, Kim Jong Un and their chessboard. Move the long delayed supplemental defense bill, Mr. Speaker. Liberty awaits. ____________________”
