“Today I rise in support of you. This June, you will become the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history. Your leadership has guided our Nation through times of great tragedy and great joy. You have led our country with a selfless dedication to our Founding Fathers' beliefs in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Our country, this Congress, our party, owes you a great debt, and I wanted to rise today to thank you for your service during this time you are being maligned through irresponsible leaks by an unaccountable bureaucrat. Thank you always for remaining above the fray. ____________________”
