“Honestly, I keep hearing the term ``MAGA'' used by the other side. I am referred to as MAGA. You keep saying that word. I don't think you know what it means. It is an acronym that stands for Make America Great Again. I don't know why anyone would take offense to that. If anything, it is something that should bring us all pride. The nickname ``czar'' is shorthand that has been used by the media. It is not new. This goes back to the administration of Franklin Roosevelt. I think the point that many of us would like to make is that it is no secret that the mainstream media is basically a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. It has been for years. It is ironic that today suddenly the mainstream media has decided the use of the term ``czar,'' which they threw around freely during the Obama administration, threw around freely earlier in this administration, now that term is one that, well, they used it inappropriately. I will help the ranking member. I brought the Axios quote that he referenced because now, this morning, magically they say they were wrong 3 years ago when we referred to Vice President Harris as a czar. Again, the term has been used under Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, George W. Bush, President Obama, and twice under President Trump. Who can forget the famous car czar, Steven Rattner? Who can forget the healthcare czar in the Obama administration, Nancy DeParle?…”
