“Democrats are blocking defense and homeland security funding in the Senate. Our troops are risking their lives, and we must give them the resources they need.”
“Mr. Chair, as you heard from our chairman, while our Democrat colleagues are shutting down the Department of Homeland Security and blocking the National Defense Authorization Act in the Senate, we have our troops standing in the gap, risking their lives for the common defense. They need to be refueled. They need the replenishment. They need the resources to be successful. They need to know we are behind them. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.”
