I remind you, he is nonelected. I don't believe he was even confirmed by the Senate, but Secretary Kerry uses his position in this special envoy to fly around the world in private and heavy-polluting jets so he can attend the coronation of King Charles III on the taxpayers' dime. Somebody please remind me how this is helping the American people or even addressing his climate concerns. I submit to you it is making them worse, according to their statistics and facts. He recently stated the American people would need to contribute trillions of dollars to fix the climate. Trillions of dollars. Mr. Chair, this is nonsense. This special envoy should not exist. I am asking to prohibit any funds for it. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
