Political Quotes

“I just want to clarify. I think there is some confusion. It seems like everybody is in a hustle right now. I think they think we are being selective. I want to make it very clear. I have been very clear to everybody. I have had to object on everything. I have had to object on my own pieces of legislation to stop everything. With that being said, I think I was asked about Senator Wyden's request, and I said, no, I wouldn't at that time, and then I think at that time Senator Tillis objected. For that you were asked did I object, and I said no. With that being said, I would have objected to everything, and I think everybody knew where I stood in this body that I will and have to reluctantly--I don't want to be in this position. I am so committed to fulfilling the promise and commitment we have made. That is all. I am sorry if there has been confusion. I have to, for the position we have taken. I think the good fight that we have here--and, basically, what the House has done to us is not humane to the people we represent. That is all I said. I am sorry for that. So if there is a motion on the table, I object to that too. ____________________”
