Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I yield an additional 1 minute to the gentleman from Georgia. Mr. McCORMICK. So, I would challenge you, sir, to consider a healthcare professional, when they get to determine their own fate as they continue to put their lives on the line to serve the very people that we are supposed to be serving here in Congress. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks to the Chair. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I appreciate the gentleman's response, but I am not sure who he is responding to. The question I asked was for physicians to come down here and to make it clear, contrary to what was said before, that these vaccines are not dangerous, that people should get vaccinated, that it could save lives. People are still dying of COVID, by the way, and the idea that somehow we should be discouraging people from getting vaccinations by scaring them doesn't make a lot of sense to me. In fact, I think it is irresponsible. I appreciate the gentleman's service to his patients, and I hope that he understands now his service is to the American people and that service includes getting out the truth and what is accurate and what is not accurate about these vaccinations. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
