South Carolina

“

I am embarrassed that so many people in our legislature will allow strangers in Washington to tell them what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.

“

The vote today reflected what South Carolinians would like to see, and that is a constitutional process.

“

We have someone in the White House that wants Republicans to ignore the Constitutional principles for which this current map was drawn. A critical number of Republicans did not believe in putting a man over the law.

“

If a deal is struck to end the Iranian conflict because it is believed that the Strait of Hormuz cannot be protected from Iranian terrorism and Iran still possesses the capability to destroy major Gulf oil infrastructure, then Iran will be perceived as being a dominant force requiring a diplomatic solution.

“

Conceptually, I understand what he's trying to do, but I don't know. I think we need to ask more questions.

“

I think that Moody's is a lagging indicator. I think that's what everyone thinks of credit agencies. And just like Sean Duffy said with our air traffic control system, we didn't get here in the past 100 days. It's the Biden administration and the spending that we have seen over the past four years. If we go back to your initial question on the Moody's downgrade, who cares? Qatar doesn't. Saudi doesn't. UAE doesn't.

“

In a joint statement, the Congressional Ukraine Caucus co-chairs said: 'Ukraine has extended an olive branch: an immediate, temporary ceasefire grounded in the protection of human life and the pursuit of a just peace. In the face of Russia's continued aggression, this proposal reflects the moral clarity of a free people: willing to seek peace, unwilling to surrender sovereignty, and determined to defend the dignity of their nation. We stand united—Democrats and Republicans—in support of Ukraine's sovereignty, in defense of international law, and in recognition of the immense sacrifices already made by the Ukrainian people.'

“

Bondi's removal as Attorney General doesn't erase her obligation to testify and does not end Congressional oversight.

“

Everything I have seen, you have surpassed all of my expectations and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“

What a terrific combo of wit, humor, history and appreciation. King Charles reminded us all why the US-UK special relationship is so important and gave a real morale boost to this institution.

“

Kevin Warsh is battle-tested and brings the necessary experience from his time as a Federal Reserve Governor during the Great Recession. Confirming Kevin Warsh will make sure that affordability is at the center of our economic agenda.

“

Republicans are doing something that must be done quickly, and that our Democrat colleagues are trying to prevent us from doing. That something is simple: fully fund Border Patrol and ICE at a time of great threat to the United States.

“

It's abundantly clear that after 47 years, promises coming from the Iranian regime are worthless. Control the strait. Continue the blockade. Put Kharg island in the crosshairs.

“

I support expelling both Gonzales and Swalwell. This is not a partisan issue. When members of Congress abuse their power over the people who work for them, they must face consequences regardless of party. We cannot have different standards for different parties.

“

I appreciate the hard work of all involved in trying to find a diplomatic solution. As to an Iranian ten point proposal to end the war, I look forward to reviewing it at the appropriate time and its submission to Congress for a vote, like we did with the Obama JCPOA. We must remember that the Strait of Hormuz was attacked by Iran after the start of the war, destroying freedom of navigation. Going forward, it is imperative Iran is not rewarded for this hostile act against the world. All highly enriched uranium must be controlled by the U.S. and removed from Iran to prevent them from having a dirty bomb or returning to the enrichment business.

“

Pam Bondi cannot escape accountability simply because she no longer holds the office of Attorney General. Our motion to subpoena Pam Bondi, which was passed by the Oversight Committee, was for Bondi by name, not by title. We did it by name and not by the title of the attorney general, so she is still compelled and required by law to come before the Oversight Committee.

“

He is deadly serious when it comes to his ultimatum to Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz or face a massive military response against vital infrastructure. I totally support this.

“

If the reports that Lee Zeldin will be replacing Pam Bondi as Attorney General are true — I welcome it. Bondi handled the Epstein Files in a terrible manner and made this situation far worse than it had to be for President Trump.

“

Mr. President, as Senate Budget Committee Chairman, I will work with my fellow Republican committee members to meet your request to have reconciliation done by June 1, fully funding ICE and Border Patrol.

“

The biggest change in the Middle East in a thousand years is upon us. The end of the largest state sponsor of terrorism is upon us. This operation has been well-planned, violent, extensive and I believe, at the end of the day, successful.

“

There is no doubt in my mind that we have the legal authority to blow up these boats. The president's campaign against narco-traffickers is lawful and necessary.
