"I share the chairman's concern about the fate of so many minority communities in the region."

"It seems to me that the United States must speak out about that to--and without doing something ham-handed, try to offer its protection to those minority communities."

"I mean, it is very clear that the United States' prestige and engagement around the world were badly damaged by 8 years of the previous administration."

"Well, you know, they say sunshine is the best disinfectant, and I think I concur with the chairman's."
