Steve Chabot: “Over the past now 8 years, we have witnessed just how brutal Bashar al-Assad truly is.”

Every riot or act of violence or threat thereof taking place anywhere in this nation, whoever is responsible for it, is unconscionable and we on this side, Republicans, we reject it; we condemn it.

Now, may not be the time, despite what the Biden Administration and any of my colleagues believe, to release drug traffickers and dealers back into our communities and neighborhoods.

I urge all colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support the bill, and I yield back the balance of my time.

I have no further speakers and would be willing to close at this time unless the gentleman has additional speakers. I reserve the balance of my time.
