Political Quotes

“first, I want to express my gratitude to Senator Cruz for his very gracious effort today on the floor of the Senate. You talk about a champion, a mature, experienced, reliable, and responsible voice in this body--that is Senator Cruz from Texas. What he just did today in deciding to not object to a piece of legislation that we worked on for so long was the right thing to do, and we credit him for that. We also stand here saying that we want to do everything we can to ensure that his major piece of legislation is one that does get passed--out of Senate previously--out of the House, the TAKE IT DOWN legislation, and take it down to the White House, where it gets signed into law. It will be such a benefit to so many Americans. We stand united in this Senate behind Senator Cruz, who will soon be the chairman of the Commerce Committee, to thank him for his efforts and his help and his assistance on this bill today in this body. I also rise to congratulate my friend and colleague Senator Manchin, who will be leaving this body, on the success here today. If the Senator from West Virginia would like to head over to thank and shake hands and walk in front of me to congratulate and thank the Senator from Texas-- The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.”
