Jeff Merkley actually said...

"Chairman Merkley and Co-chairman McGovern, thank you again for the invitation to testify this morning."

"If a nation promised improvements on human rights to meet certain human rights standards and they failed to meet those, would you encourage the IOC to have a practice of moving the Games?"

"We would continue to express our views and values around human rights and encourage them to be in the selection and engage with host governments on this important topic."

"This is not even a question about a particular system of government. This is about genocide."
