Bryan Steil Republican
“This vote lets the American people see where lawmakers stand. Members can choose to stand with the Democratic Socialists of America or stand with freedom and against socialist policies.”
“Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I note my colleague said this resolution allows Members to state how they feel, where they stand. I think that is actually reasonably true. You can pull out the Democratic Socialists of America program, and you can flip to page 15 and read through some of the highlights: defund the Pentagon, free Palestine with Jerusalem as the capital, grant amnesty for all immigrants regardless of legal status. This is a chance, as my colleague says, to show how we feel and where Members stand. The American people will get to see. Do they stand with the Democratic Socialists of America or do they stand with democracy and freedom and oppose the socialist policies that we are seeing from the radical left? Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Crank), the author of this resolution, to speak.”
