Tom Rice

I have made my opinions very well known. I know I did the right thing. I would do it again tomorrow. I don`t vote for the job. I vote to do the right thing. I don`t vote for a man. I vote to uphold the Constitution.

Tonight, it is South Carolina as you mentioned. This is the Tom Rice versus Russell Fry.

Tom Rice voted to impeach Donald Trump. He says he's proud of that vote. He says if it costs him his career, so be it.

Passing this bill will place significant tariffs on most of Russia's exports to the United States, further defunding Putin's war machine. The bill also gives proclamation authority to the USTR to further raise tariffs on Russia's goods so…

This is a bill on which we can find consensus, and it is real.

We have to realize we have to get a majority, right? We have to reach consensus.

This is a very commonsense solution that would have prevented most of these massacres.

Too often when we see tragedies like this, in our immediate reaction, we try to go too far, and we can't find a solution that we can get across the line.

I think the reason that they only search two is because, when we did the background-check law in the mid-1990s, the N-DEx system did not exist.

What glares at you when you read this opinion is about a big omission in the background-check procedure.

After the killings of the nine people in the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, by a deranged individual, the families of the deceased sued the Federal Government for failure to catch his issues before they issued him a…

I remind the people back home that the scale of this plan that the gentlewoman is talking about is $5,500 borrowed for every man, woman, and child in this country, and your children will pay that money back. They will pay it back in higher…

I would remind my friend that only about 9 percent of this bill actually goes to speed vaccine production and delivery around the country. And if more of that were occurring in this bill there may be more bipartisanship. This bill is a…

I would remind the gentlewoman that we are borrowing $5,500 for every man, woman, and child in the entire country with this $1.9 trillion bill and that we are using that money to expand entitlement programs, including the child tax credit…

I would point out to my friend from Alabama that because of the change in the allocation formula in this bill, relief for States--from the prior COVID relief bills--now this formula will focus on the unemployed; therefore, places that have…

I would remind my friend, the majority leader, that the reason that this bill is not bipartisan is there has been no effort to make it bipartisan. There have been zero committee meetings on this. Ms. Pelosi uses COVID as an excuse to keep…

What my friends across the aisle are saying is: Here is your $1,400 check, but don't look at what I am doing behind your back with the other $5,500 I am borrowing in your name and in the names of each of your children. Mr. Speaker, I yield…

I agree that the priorities could not be more stark, when the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act led to the most successful economy in decades, if not ever, and the lowest unemployment among African Americans, Hispanics, and women in the history of the…

I would remind the gentleman that, due to the enormity of this bill, if $800 million of this bill goes to food assistance, that represents less than one one-thousandths of the total. That is a very tiny, small fraction. And the prior bills…

I have backed this president through thick and thin for four years. I campaigned for him and voted for him twice, but this utter failure is inexcusable.

These intense storms and natural disasters have led to increased concern for protecting tourists and residents during this time.

In my district we appreciate all of the work the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has assisted us with in the past.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my WRDA 2020 priorities with you.

Let me tell you, I have developed these things. I know what kind of flooring they put there, and the reason they put it there is so people could walk on it
