Rep. Williams Statement on House Democrats Sit-In

Statement

Congressman Roger Williams (R -- Austin) today released the following statement on the Democrats' occupation of the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives:

"Members of the Democrat party who resorted to this public display of such childish behavior have revealed their true agenda, to remove the Second Amendment from the Constitution and continue to turn a blind eye to what is truly harming our country, radical Islamic terrorism. Time and again, their attempts to pass anti-second amendment legislation have failed to receive enough votes in Congress. Instead of following the rules they agreed to, they chose to stage a 1960's style political protest in an attempt to stop the people's business from being done. These Democrats can lie to the American people, but their proposals would not have stopped the terrorist attack in Orlando, and they are using tragedy to promote their liberal agenda. Americans know that silly sit-ins and sing alongs aren't what they had in mind when they went to the ballot box. If Democrats truly have the country's best interest at heart, they can start by helping to advance proposals that take on what really threatens our country, radical Islamic terrorism. Instead of wasting taxpayer time and money, let's get back to doing our jobs, making America safe and keeping her people free."
