If you could ever be fed up--I am fed up. Fed up, and fed up with the babbling that we are hearing from Republicans on the other side. You know, the question should be: Where were you on January 6 when law enforcement were bleeding on the steps of the United States Capitol, passing out, and dying? Where were you? This is not a political circumstance. These are people who are standing here because Steve Horsford had a personal experience. The Judiciary Committee has consistently supported intervention programs dealing with countering violence. This bill, Break the Cycle of Violence Act, is needed in America. Stand up with us, Republicans. A bill that takes a vital step toward reducing community violence and improving public safety by investing in people, their communities, and establish evidence-based programs proven to help reduce violence. Our law enforcement are begging for this. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
