The Republican Recap: Week of December 4, 2023

Floor Speech

"As our college campuses are subjected to the rampant spread of antisemitism and the continued presence of CCP influence campaigns, it is critical that we expose the forces attempting to influence our children. When foreign governments give money to our universities, they don't do it out of the goodness of their hearts; they want something in return. Whether it's terror friendly states like Qatar and Iran, or brutal human rights abusers like the CCP, our campuses must not become puppets of countries who hate America. I'm proud to have introduced the DETERRENT Act with Chairwoman Foxx, and I thank all my colleagues who supported this legislation today. By passing this bill, we've taken an important step in protecting our future leaders, but the job is not done. This is an urgent threat, and I call on my Senate colleagues to take up this measure immediately, send it to the President's desk for his signature, and deter any further effort to meddle in our students' education."
