Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 13, 2019
So here is the bottom line: House Democrats do not like the President of the United States, and we know that. Less than 3 months into the 116th Congress, the Democrats have shown that they will work against President Trump to the detriment of the American people. We are here in the United States House of Representatives to serve the American people, and the legislation we are considering here today will not do that. President Trump has urged us at the State of the Union, asked all the Members present, to reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise, and the common good. I also believe this is possible, and I recommend we get on with the task. Mr. DeSAULNIER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lofgren), the distinguished chair of the Committee on House Administration.
