Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 30, 2023
I thank the good gentleman from Pennsylvania. He is a good friend, and I am honored to serve with him. I agree with him. I will say that our constituents don't send us to Washington to campaign. They don't send us to Washington to run around trying to figure out how we are going to score some political victory and set up votes so we can run against our colleagues. Our constituents recognize that our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are continuing to leave them behind and ignore them in pursuit of fantasy energy policies, woke ideology, and radical leftist views of open borders that empower our enemies and endanger Americans. They fully get that. They expect us to stand up and fight for them. They expect us to do the right thing and then let the voters decide. I would submit that it is a critical juncture in this country, that we are facing existential threats, that it is critical that the 200 and however many Republicans we have right now unite together and go over to the Senate to tell the Senate that we have to solve problems for the American people, secure borders, strengthen our military, reduce spending, get inflation down, make the American people believe that the American Dream exists again.
