Sadly, he`s going to be remembered for having the very body in which he served refer him for criminal prosecution.

I think Mr. Meadows is caught between a rock and a hard place. And I wish he would recognize that his duty is to the American people. He should rise and be a patriot and, of course, turnover more records.

It’s a gang of thugs, many of them.

We need to pay attention to the words of Samantha Power and others, and make sure that this committee has the ability to do its work. And I`m confident they will do it.

This president, that former president never had any regard for the oath, for the rule of law, for our constitution.

We have to reject this insane antidemocratic, authoritarian, narcissistic movement of the former president that sadly has infected so many others.

We celebrate the rule of law today when that huckster, whose name I will not use, attempted to put out and continue to put out and profit from grievous, scandalous -- I don`t even know what you call them -- conspiracy lies around one of…

It does matter in Pennsylvania. Decency, integrity, character matter in Pennsylvania.

It tells you how dangerous it is that the big lie not only took place in the days leading up to the 2020 election, the days after the 2020 election leading up to the insurrection but the big lie continues. It’s very dangerous. It’s very…

Sadly, the Republican party knows no shame. And that’s what really worries me the most. This is a party that has become a cult.

This was an attack on our democracy, an attack incited by a failed former president, an attack of Americans by Americans.

When we are dancing with the angels, the question will be asked, what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy intact?

Impeachment is a tool to uphold and defend the Constitution, not a toy to be taken lightly.

Asylum is a human right. I am horrified by the inhumanity we have seen and the ongoing use of a Trump era title 42 authority to expel migrants, all which is done with no due process.

These weapons are incredibly attractive to criminals, increasingly common, and should concern us all.

This is dark money trying to radicalize, frankly, school boards, trying to defeat candidates like the people we`re talking about right now.

Women public servants under attack, thank you for what you`re doing. Our children deserve you and do not deserve the vile attacks that are happening at you.

They should not be subject to the horrendous threats that you`re absolutely right, are the ligaments of Donald Trump and those who support Donald Trump.

I just have to say you`re heroes, guys. I talked to a bunch of my school board members today in preparation.

They`re heroes. They`re not in this for the glory. They are not in this for the money. They are in this for our children.

I see it as a sign of extraordinary insecurity and weakness. Any one of these people shouldn`t need a subpoena at all. As an American, as a patriot, as a citizen who suffered the insurrection that was not an attack on Democrats in…

We see that the former president, whose name I`m not going to use, is continuing to try to water those seeds of discontent, to continue the big lie.

We must practice and protect [democracy] is at stake.

I expect a very different set of circumstances with some bad actors trying to avoid coming forward and obeying a subpoena.

But we must never forget the violent insurrection that descended on our Capitol, incited by a president and aided by others. And that’s why, when people who are in jail for their participation have these whining complaints, I have zero…
