Joe Cunningham: “I do not know how to counter untruths that are spoken on this House floor, and I think one of the most frustrating thing…”

“I do not know how to counter untruths that are spoken on this House floor, and I think one of the most frustrating thing for Members is to hear the daily rhetoric that goes on on this House floor that are untruths, that are not the truth. And I think who we hurt the most and how many Members on the other side hurt the most are our pages and our youngsters and the people that watch. I listened and talked to some of the Democratic pages and also to the Republican pages and some of them came back to me and said, Congressman Cunningham, we know that they are saying children's nutrition, cutting children's nutrition programs is not right. We are Democrats but we were brought up not to tell untruths. And I do not know why our side of the aisle is doing it, but what can you do to show them the actual facts and that is why I have come today. I am the chairman of the subcommittee that went over and looked at children's nutrition programs.”
