Bob Corker actually said...

"This is the best of America here, serving with outstanding members on this committee."

"We appreciate everybody being here as the Senate carries out one of its most important responsibilities, which is to give advice and consent to nominees that are put forth by a President."

"I want to thank Jeff Merkley, who I know cares very, very deeply about these issues, for joining this committee, for your principled efforts in so many regards."

"We would ask you to respect democracy, respect the right for us to have a hearing, to control yourselves in an appropriate manner."
