The nation of Georgia and America are valued partners. Georgians served with Americans in the global war on terrorism. Sadly, Georgia faces a threat to its freedom. In October, a scheming dictator, backed by war criminal Putin, the Chinese Communist Party, and the Iranian regime, rigged an election. Salome Zourabichvili, the legitimate President of Georgia, is courageously standing with protesters and peacefully demanding free and fair elections. I reintroduced the bipartisan MEGOBARI Act to sanction those attacking freedom. Additionally, there is legislation to prohibit recognizing the illegitimate regime. I am grateful that at my invitation, President Zourabichvili will attend the inauguration of President Donald Trump. In conclusion, God bless our troops as the global war on terrorism continues. Open borders for dictators puts all Americans at risk of more 9/11 attacks imminent as warned by the FBI. Trump will reinstitute existing laws to protect American families with peace through strength. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Senator Marco Rubio on prevailing at the confirmation hearing yesterday I attended, which was so positively conducted by Chairman Jim Risch and Ranking Member Jeanne Shaheen. ____________________
