Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 27, 2020
It wasn't so long ago that our country experienced an event that would bring Americans together to fight a common enemy and help those in need. On September 11, 2001, America experienced the worst act of terrorism in its history. The resolve and patriotism I felt that day, as a warfighter, is so very similar to the resolve and patriotism I feel today. Government can do some things for the American people. The CARES Act is not perfect, but it provides much-needed funds for medical equipment, support for small businesses, and additional tools to fight the crisis. This bill is a step forward, and when combined with the same American spirit that brought us through 9/11 and crises past, we can come out of this stronger. The true strength of our great Nation is what people do for each other. Rugged individualism turns into compassionate sacrifice. The charity of American spirit expands and envelops all others. We see those in need. We act. We volunteer. We lead. We step into the breach. Almost nothing perfect comes out of government. Service, however, demands that we put forth a perfect effort to do the best we can.

This election was incredibly secure. And I think we have to get out of this, looking at these bizarre type of articles coming out on the net and the conspiracy theories associated with them. And it's really ludicrous.

I think it's better late than never. But it really is astounding to me that anybody who said the things that Bill Barr said in testimony, and he had said those things and believed those things would still say he would vote for President…
