“I thank Congressman Roy for yielding. Tim Reitz has led our little merry band behind the scenes for 4 years, the Freedom Caucus. Most people do not realize that when you have the type of intellect that Tim has, the type of principle that Tim has, that is a rare commodity because in Washington, D.C., just typical of anyplace in our culture, you are going to utilize that brain trust that you have been handed to make the most money when you have workable years. Tim could have gone a number of different places, but he chose to be an oak. For those who would wonder why I would say that, it is because an oak tree, if you ever look at an oak tree, you have to realize that, once upon a time, it was just a crazy little nut that decided to stand its ground. Thanks for standing your ground. Thanks for being someone who actually knows what the enumerated powers of the Constitution are and someone who didn't take what you could have, the treats of the moment that all of us are offered. Instead of holding out the dream of tomorrow, which is for our country, you can take the treats of the moment, you can get a better job, you could go work on K Street, but you knew in your conscience that your conscience was calling out to put your Nation and your principles first and to go back to look at the wisdom of our Founders and try to move the needle, to give this grand experiment of liberty another breath to gulp in, in the hope that this thing would endure long past us.”
