Tim Ryan: “The king. And I want this President to come hold the hand of somebody in my district. Go hold the hand of one of the 5.4…”

The king. And I want this President to come hold the hand of somebody in my district. Go hold the hand of one of the 5.4 million people that just slipped into poverty. This man doesn't need his hand held. But we have got a lot of people in the country that need a little help, and not a handout, a hand up, an opportunity to succeed. I yield for Number 6.
