Tim Kaine actually said...

"We have had a lot of hearings in this committee over the years where we have heard about persecution of journalists."

"All over the world, when dictators want to perpetrate atrocities and escape accountability, they go after media representatives."

"We value journalism, we value a robust First Amendment culture, and we will provide a haven for those who are practicing this profession who are threatened around the world."

"The Government works for the people, and we have to have a strong civil service, rebuild that service."
