Raising A Question of the Privileges of the House

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. HINSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of our Speaker, Kevin McCarthy.

Let's be very clear here. We would not have a House Republican majority without the relentless efforts of this man, our Speaker.

Under his leadership, Joe Biden's policies have had a check and balance. His policies have created a horrific border crisis--10,000 illegal immigrants a day surging across our border. Under Speaker McCarthy, Republicans have passed legislation to secure our border.

Joe Biden has done everything to squash American energy, selling our oil reserves to China. Under Speaker McCarthy, Republicans have passed legislation to unleash American energy dominance.

Joe Biden has spent taxpayer dollars like there is no tomorrow. Under Speaker McCarthy, we have returned to passing single-subject appropriations bills and ending the status quo of omnibus spending.

One of the most valuable pieces of advice that I received was from Kevin McCarthy when I got here to D.C. He told me to separate the signal from the noise. The noise is those who are causing chaos for their own personal benefit while ignoring the needs of their constituents and this country, grinding our work here to a halt. The signal is the many accomplishments that we have delivered for the American people with Speaker McCarthy at the helm. The signal is the failures coming out of the White House time and time again. The signal is the work that we must do today and going forward to save our country for my kids and yours.

My colleagues here today have a choice: Be a chaos agent or get back to work. I call on my colleagues: Let's separate the signal from the noise. Let's support our Speaker, Kevin McCarthy, so we can get back to work for the American people.
