Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 22, 2019
I stand with my Republican colleagues tonight as the people's House faces an unprecedented and illegitimate impeachment process. House Democrats' secret impeachment proceedings behind closed doors are keeping the American people in the dark. Members in the minority are being shut out of the process, which threatens to erode the most basic standards of transparency in our Nation's government. The Mueller investigation didn't give them what they wanted, so now they conduct secret proceedings behind these closed doors. This simply is unacceptable. As I have continued to state on behalf of my constituents, Congress should be legislating on behalf of the American people, not wasting valuable legislative time and millions of taxpayer dollars. We should be passing the USMCA and meaningful reforms for our farmers and ranchers. We should be passing bipartisan infrastructure legislation, and we should be addressing the devastating crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women. Instead, House Democrats choose to continue endless partisan investigations and reckless impeachment inquiries. Madam Speaker, the American people deserve more. ____________________
