Sheila Jackson Lee: “It additionally responds to the potential of those that are facing…”

It additionally responds to the potential of those that are facing domestic violence and sexual assault with the Violence Against Women Act that I led and had passed in this House just a few months ago.

Let's make sure that Vladimir Putin never stands on the world stage again.
