Adam Smith: “I fully admit the left is wrong frequently. I think we ought to factually check that. Here, we are saying don't…”

“I fully admit the left is wrong frequently. I think we ought to factually check that. Here, we are saying don't factually check that. While we are on the subject of facts, COVID played a little bit of a role in our recruitment problem. I don't think anyone who is being fair about analysis would dispute that. Again, here we hear: Oh, no, it wasn't COVID. It was the fact that, where we advertised, we didn't place it here. Madam Chair, come on. COVID is what impacted our recruitment, which is why I think we should allow people to check facts. It is not that the left is always right. They are frequently not. Believe me. I live those arguments back home in my district, and I argue the other side of it. I just think we should at least try and figure it out.”
