Providing for Consideration of H. Res. Condemning Unwanted, Unnecessary Medical Procedures on Individuals Without Their Full, Informed Consent, and Providing for Consideration of H. Res. Condemning Qanon and Rejecting the Conspiracy Theories It Promotes

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. COHEN. Madam Speaker, I came here for the purpose of commending Representatives Malinowski and Riggleman for bringing the resolution condemning QAnon and its baseless, racist theories. But having heard some of the remarks today, I have to tell you: Speaker Pelosi is standing up for American values and standing up for the least of us, while the Republicans are standing for the most of us.

The Republicans passed a $150 billion tax break for the richest Americans, people like Donald Trump who don't pay taxes. They get a 4- year backlog to file losses in real estate deals to cut out their taxes.

They won't do anything for children in a child tax credit, but they think that that policy of giving people, on average, a $1.6 million tax benefit to the richest 1 percent is good values. That is not good values. That is bad values.

That is not good values; that is bad values. And the Republicans ought to object to that because it is making them the party of greed and tax weaselers and the bad people in America and not caring about the least of these.
