Political Quotes

On the recordApril 6, 2022
The people of the United States deserve to know the truth. With all the ranting of my friends across the aisle, the Constitution indicates that this Nation was formed to create a more perfect Union. {time} 1445 There were those who incited January 6. There were those who surrounded President Trump who did nothing to stop the violence and terrorism of January 6. If witnesses come before a duly authorized bipartisan committee and refuse to provide the American people with the truth, then we need to stand here and provide them with a contempt order so that the truth can be found. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in voting for this contempt order for the truth for the American people and the sanctity of the Constitution.
