tonight is the culmination of months of work from House Republicans to defund leftwing state-sponsored media outlets like NPR. During that process, we got to bring in leadership from these outlets like the CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher, to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. I got to ask her about a lot of her past public statements. It turns out she has a prolific Twitter history. She has written extensively about every single major woke buzzword that you can think of, Mr. Speaker, including ``the ravages of late-stage capitalism,'' ``structural privilege,'' and her own ``cis White mobility privilege.'' Mr. Speaker, most Americans, including myself, didn't know what that meant until reading this. She wrote about the ``politics of representation,'' and, of course, ``toxic masculinity.'' She also wrote about herself, about one of her major pet peeves, which is whenever she goes on an airplane and finds out that the demographics are ``usually > 80% male, usually white.'' Mr. Speaker, that is flagrantly racist. She has written about how: ``I do wish Hillary''--meaning Hillary Clinton--``wouldn't use the language of `boy and girl'--it's erasing language for non-binary people.'' Mr. Speaker, this is the person running the outlet the other side of the aisle wants our tax dollars to subsidize.
