On the recordJune 25, 2020
I appreciate so much my friend from Arizona. I was asked earlier today by someone: Everybody needs friends; who are your friends in Congress? And I am looking at two of my best friends right here. It may be sad, but that is the case, and I am grateful for the friendship. We had a press conference, the Freedom Caucus did, and I appreciate your leadership. I want to address my remarks to the Chair. I appreciate so much the leadership of the chairman of the Freedom Caucus in having the press conference. But one guy said he had a question, and Congressman Biggs called on him, and he ends up saying, you know, he made a case that you are not spending enough money here in Washington on local police. And this is probably the same clown that goes out and says, you know, we need to defund the police. We need to defund the military because that is going on. And the great irony, then he comes up to us and says we need you to spend more money because we are trying to defund the police back home. It is quite ironic. Mr. Speaker, I yield as much time as he may consume to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Yoho). We have been through a lot together, and I have such great respect, and I am going to miss the gentleman from Florida. It may be because he was a veterinarian before he came up here, so he was quite used to dealing with the wrong end of a horse and was trained well for being in Congress.
