Tom Cole: “It is an American idea, and it is something where we have so much in common.”

The only reason we’re doing it now is, first, the Senate Democrats, I think, have misused the filibuster, and honestly, the Republicans have let them misuse the filibuster.

It reinforces support for key allies - like Israel and Taiwan - and directly counters threats from Communist China and other regimes that challenge our interests and principles.

We're going to be in a crunch time.

I hold the Democrats in the Senate most responsible, but I don’t excuse the Republicans for letting them do it.
