On the recordDecember 1, 2016
I thank the gentlewoman from Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strident opposition to H. Res. 933. Madam Speaker, we have heard so much about fake news lately, and now we are being asked for taxpayer funding for fake congressional committees. This resolution provides another 800,000 taxpayer dollars to the Republicans' ongoing hatchet job against Planned Parenthood. We already know the facts on the faked Planned Parenthood videos and the unethical videographer. The fake committee's only goal is to create Orwellian unfacts. So far, this fake committee has found no wrongdoing by Planned Parenthood or their doctors. Of course, this panel knows that they wouldn't find anything because Planned Parenthood has been cleared of wrongdoing 17 times by three different House committees, 17 State investigations, and a grand jury. Now, despite all this, Republicans want to waste more taxpayer dollars. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
