“First of all, I rise in full support of this rule. As I told my good friends in the Rules Committee today, you are not going to lecture me on compassion. You are not going to lecture me on being kind to the poor and the forgotten. You are the party who let 15 million illegals in this country, wantonly and deliberately. You are the party who defended a President who wasn't mentally competent. One of the ladies mentioned that Donald Trump voted from a golf course. Donald Trump could read a thank-you note, unlike President Biden. Donald Trump had 77 million people who wanted to reverse the course that this country was on for the last 4 years. To hear you all talk all of a sudden about disenfranchisement for females, you are always playing the victim card. Seventy-seven million people rejected that. Now, on the proxy voting, every one of our friends in the back listening had to show up here. Every one of them had to physically come here. I am in the construction business. Do you think the electrician could vote by proxy to get the house wired? Do you think the dentist could vote by proxy to get the teeth fixed and fillings filled? It is a joke. With all the problems this country has, here we are, arguing over proxy voting. You brought up the Speaker voting by proxy. I voted by proxy. Speaker Pelosi put it in order a few times, and no one agrees with this. The hardworking Americans go to work.…”
