We just want the facts, ma'am.

They intentionally chose not to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

I think it is important that we keep that in mind.

Those documents laid the groundwork, not just for the United States and our ability to create a more perfect union, but as guideposts for the world.

I do believe that what happened was exceptional--not perfect, but exceptional--and truly has changed the world.

We need to focus on all of it.

I think the affiliate program is very good.

I don't think he's a superstar. I don't think he was praised. He absolutely lied to the American public.

If my majority colleagues will abandon denialism, conspiracy theories uprooted in fact, certainly untethered from this Committee's record that shows absolute dearth of legitimate reasons to contest the outcome of the 2020 election, then we…

We are trying to make sure there are free and fair Federal elections.

What this bill says is we are going to have separate ballots.

I offer this amendment to strip away the provisions of the bill that would punish election administrators at a time they most need our support.

We are just trimming it back a little bit and saying, We are going to pay the part that the Federal Government is invested in.

If you are going to have separate ballots and you are not going to have those ballots be the same, then the Federal Government's responsibility is less.

What it says is, is that if you are going to--and certainly the State and local governments are able to do that, but if you are going to allow noncitizens to vote in your local and State elections, that you have to keep separate rolls, and…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 132, beginning line 18, strike ``in China on research supported by the government of China''. The…

It is not right to suddenly create a whole new State out of an existing State.

D.C. voters are the perfect example of taxation without representation.

It is really unfortunate to hear my colleagues, on one hand, pretend to support voters and voter outreach and, on the other hand, oppress D.C. voters.

It raises that question as to who is making that decision.

I think it is the right answer to a problem that this Nation has, when you take a look at the hundreds of thousands of people in D.C. who do not have representation.

I think that, in cases where you have large university communities, the local governments already make those decisions.
