Jim Clyburn

We need a unity of purpose but we are not going to get that when the President is telling people that the cases of Coronavirus are going down not up.

Absolutely not. They are just fooling around. It just reminds me so much of Katrina.

Yes, I am optimistic. I made my endorsement based upon conversations I had with my constituents.

I have a real problem with people who keep using words that they know are inflammatory. I don't like that.

All the polling that I've seen indicates that the best Democratic candidate for us is Joe Biden. I feel that he has the integrity, he has the record, he has the compassion that is necessary to set the country back on the right course and…

I think so. I certainly hope so. My endorsement is not about me. It's not about even my constituents. It's about the future of this country.

Find a way to say that you are a part of picking the first Latino woman member of the United States Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor, and that you are looking forward to making the first African American woman a member of the Supreme Court

I don't think so, but we'll see.

I rise as the designee of Chairwoman Lowey, and I move to strike the last word. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from South Carolina is recognized for 5 minutes.

This legislation takes meaningful steps to control prescription drug costs by expanding access to generic drugs so patients don't have to choose between lifesaving medications and other necessities, like rent or food. Mr. Chairman…

We have to do our jobs irrespective of what the other body may do once they get their chance to look at it.

The people think that Congress should get this report, and I know that they would expect for us to represent them, to protect the constitution of the United States of America and to help preserve this great country that all of us have…

We are the body that's closest to the people. We run for re- election every two years. We ought to be responding to the will of the people.

Well, there is a risk. But the fact of the matter is these are some of the same people who say we ought not be passing legislation in the House until there is some guarantee that it will pass the Senate.

Some of it has to do with morality. Some of it has to do with integrity. Some of it has to do with ethics. You can't just be a President of the United States being unethical and immoral.

What I'm particularly interested in is whether or not this President has done anything to obstruct justice.

At least those of us in the Congress -- unredacted, yes. You've got people sitting on the intelligence committee. They're seeing all kinds of stuff from all over the world. Why shouldn't they see this as well?

The report is done, but the reaction to it is still before us. I am hopeful that irrespective of what the report says that we will move forward as a united country dedicated to keeping this country together, whatever it may be.

I think we ought to take a hard look at that.

Injustice anywhere, as M.L. King said, is a threat to justice everywhere.

The Charleston loophole threatens local communities by enabling guns to fall into the hands of dangerous people.

H.R. 8 will make it harder for dangerous people to get their hands on guns and hurt themselves or others.

That kind of stuff cannot be recouped. So, the government ought not be doing that, and I would think that the president would have much more compassion going forward than he demonstrated in the past.

Absolutely. We are the only government I know anywhere that this shut down the government over policy arguments.

We are a separate and equal branch of government, and I don't think that we are subservient in any way to the executive branch.
