Gerry Connolly

I was proud to hold the first hearing on this issue on your behalf, Madam Chairwoman, and proud to serve as an ally with you in the effort to renew our commitment to helping families meet the increasing demands of parenthood and family…

I add my voice to hers how saddened I am at the diminution of this critical issue by the ranking member and all too many of his colleagues on the other side of the aisle.

The president, President Trump, actually advised people to consider the ingestion of Clorox and other disinfectant.

Prior to January 6, were you asked or instructed by President Trump to take any action at the Department to advance election fraud claims or to seek to overturn any part of the 2020 election results?

Did anyone alert the Capitol Hill police chief at the time, Steven Sund, to the existence of this very alarming field report?

But even so, it is pretty alarming.

Would you agree that if they weren't and they both testified--they all testified they weren't, that in retrospect, they should have been...

Shared democratic values are as potent an antidote to authoritarianism, propounded by Putin and Xi, as is our strength--our military strength.

We think that creating a center that could serve as a resource... is long overdue.

We are experiencing backsliding among some Members. We see some backsliding among prospective Members.

Our top priority, our top priority, that we're recommending to the Secretary General... is the creation of a Center for Democratic Resilience within NATO.

This product should have been recalled long before it was by this company.

Even one loss of life is too many.

Let me just say, Madam Chairwoman, I disavow comments made previously during this hearing about the nature of the insurrection.

Well, it is the privilege of any member of this committee to ask a question, Mr. Rosen.

I think the American people are entitled to an answer, Mr. Rosen. And I think you and I as public servants have an obligation.

Your responsibility is to be accountable to the American people and this Congress.

These myths that are being perpetrated by some amongst us that there was widespread fraud is simply not borne out by the actions and decisions made by the Department of Justice in the Trump administration itself.

The January 6 insurrection was fueled by a big lie, fueled and peddled by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

The Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg comes from Norway, has visited Svalbard, has seen firsthand the effects in the Arctic of climate change.

I find it interesting that there would even be an inferential criticism of the Biden Administration with respect to call out the Uyghur human rights crisis.

It's vital that we elevate this issue in the Congress because we can save lives.

The writers of the Constitution, led by James Madison, actually wanted to circumscribe executive power.

This bill would clarify that no Federal employee, including the President or Vice President of the United States, may interfere with or retaliate against a whistleblower for sharing information with Congress.

I am pleased to announce that Representatives Mace, Connolly, Speier, Johnson, Rice, and I are introducing the Whistleblower Protection Improvement Act today.
