Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of the bipartisan amendment with Congressman Seth Moulton, No. 95, that would increase transparency and accountability--in addition to promoting peace through strength. In the past few months, the Tehran regime has repeatedly pushed the boundaries of the dangerous Iran deal and on United Nations Security Council resolutions. Since January, the Iranian regime has tested at least two intercontinental ballistic missiles, including one that had the writing ``Israel should be wiped off the Earth,'' written in Hebrew. These ICBMs have the ability to reach Israel and other allies in the Middle East from southeastern Europe to India. Sadly, the American people have not received satisfactory answers about why the actions by Iran are without repercussions. This amendment will require a quick and clear response: Why or why not did the ICBM tests violate international agreements, and what response the administration will take. This bipartisan amendment will hold the administration accountable and require a timely and thorough report on our response to hostile actions. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote in support.”
