Transcript
00:00The gentlelady from California, Congresswoman Sanchez.
00:02The gentlelady from California is recognized for one minute.
00:05Mr. Speaker, I flew overnight through thunderstorms and flash flood warnings
00:10to be here to stand up for my district this morning
00:13because Republicans refused to stand up for theirs.
00:17I've been in Congress for over 20 years,
00:19and I've never seen such cowardice from my colleagues across the aisle.
00:23Time and time again, we see Republicans fold like cheap lawn chairs.
00:27Senator Murkowski said it was a bad bill.
00:32Then why the hell would you vote for it?
00:34I'm here to stand up against a bill that kicks 17 million Americans off of their health care,
00:40a bill that cuts school lunches and food assistance to children who go to bed hungry every night,
00:46a bill that includes billions of dollars for ICE,
00:50an already bloated agency that has been upending due process
00:53and racially profiling people in my district for weeks.
00:57To my colleagues across the aisle, have you no decency?
01:01Have you no humanity?
01:03It's not too late to do what you know is right by your constituents and by your country.
01:10Vote no on this one big steaming pile of crap.
01:14And I yield back.
01:15I yield back.
