Tim Ryan: “I am going to make a prediction. The hour is late, but I am going to make a prediction. The American people will not…”

“I am going to make a prediction. The hour is late, but I am going to make a prediction. The American people will not allow, will not allow the Republican Party to get away with having another white wash. They are not going to allow them to scrub this up and cover this up and clean it up without having proper oversight. Seventy percent of the people in this country want an independent commission to look at this, or a bipartisan commission to look at this. And I think until that happens, the Republican Party will continue to get pressure from the American people. I think the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi) is going to stand strong. And, quite frankly, again, we should not appoint anybody to this commission. Eleven Republicans, nine Democrats, we do not have an ounce of power on this thing, and we will get slammed just like we do every day down here, and the end result will be a FEMA that continues to be inept and inadequate in its response to natural disasters. So I say that the American people, that 70 percent of them who want this independent commission will not let this go, will not let the corruption and the cronyism continue. Mr. Speaker, [email protected]., send us an e-mail. We will be back here next week for a couple more nights and keep hammering away.…”
