President's language and rhetoric crossed a line and it was reckless.

The president`s language and rhetoric crossed a line.

One of the things we have seen the last two years is a dramatic increase in threats directed at lawmakers.

If you assault a cop, you ought to go to jail for a long, long time.

We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week and it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol.

I will say, my view is that anyone who commits an act of violence should be prosecuted.

We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week. And it is an anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the Capitol where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage.

We have an obligation, I believe, to protect the integrity of the election, and to protect the integrity of the democratic system.

Suspending the filibuster in this manner creates a disturbing precedent, as it opens the door for Democrats to try to do that in the future on progressive priorities.

I introduced legislation in this committee to restore the policy allowing Taiwan to display its symbols of sovereignty.

In Afghanistan, we saw an absolute catastrophe with Biden's surrender to the Taliban, abandoning Americans behind enemy lines.

Every enemy of America looked to Washington and took measure of the man in the Oval Office.

Over a hundred thousand Russian troops are massed on the border of Ukraine preparing to invade Ukraine because Joe Biden surrendered to Vladimir Putin.

Let the record reflect that the chair is protecting the Biden administration from admitting their policies' undermining of Taiwan.

The Biden White House publicly retreated from Taiwan to avoid angering the communist overlords in China.

The weakness of the Biden administration... has been noticed and the Afghanistan disaster... made it substantially more likely that China will launch an amphibious military assault against Taiwan.

Over the last year, the world has gotten much more dangerous and, unfortunately, that danger is a direct consequence of a series of foreign policy failures by the Biden-Harris administration.

As I understand it, you have committed to providing this committee with the raw data from the research you did on users of your product and in particular body image issues and tendencies toward suicide.

Well, let's talk about numbers for a second. Did Instagram do anything to quantify how many teenage girls have killed themselves because of your product?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Mosseri, welcome. Thank you for being here. Thank you for testifying before the Committee and thank you for being here in person.

So, look, big tech loves to use grand eloquent phrases about bringing people together. But the simple reality and why so many Americans distrust big tech is you make money the more people are on your product, the more people are engaged in…

So did you quantify it or not?

We would like both. Is there a reason you are hiding the PowerPoint presentations?

How did you change your policies as a result of this research to protect young girls?

I and many members of this committee have had significant concerns about Instagram's practices and Facebook's practices and big tech more broadly.
