"That bill is truly a slap in the face to Puerto Rican voters!"
"Let me be clear, there is nothing that this other legislation will offer to Puerto Rico that has not already been discussed in 123 years."

"Not only that--the bill shamelessly ignores the will of voters in Puerto Rico, ignores a legitimate democratic process, and ignores self-determination, despite the bill's misleading title."
