Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, once again, House Republicans are prioritizing extreme political stunts over problem-solving for the American people. Speaker McCarthy's purely partisan move to strip Representative Omar from her committee is not only a political stunt but a blow to the integrity of our democratic institutions and solves no problem. In modern American history, the punishment of stripping Members of Congress of their committee assignments has been reserved only for the most egregious wrongdoing, including threats to colleagues. Congresswoman Omar has neither threatened a colleague, nor has she committed any egregious wrongdoing. If Republicans want to degrade the integrity of the House and its committees, it will be up to Democrats to stand up against these efforts. We will always stand for integrity in our House. Mr. Speaker, I strongly oppose the efforts today by the extreme MAGA Republicans in this political stunt that solves no problems. ____________________”
