“I want to honor my friend. He spent his life in government. He helped the military. He was in the Air Force and the Reserves. He helped guardsmen and reservists get more money for school. I called him 'Grambo'. He was like Rambo for the military. He was the Senate version of Rambo. He helped pass tax changes. He helped fund border security and law enforcement. He helped President Trump. He helped put conservative judges on the Supreme Court and in lower courts. He spoke from the heart. He was proud of his family. His sister Darline will replace him. My wife and I are praying for him and his family.”
“Something bad happened at a school in my state. People died. We should do something. But not if it takes away people's rights. I support people's rights. We talked a lot about it. We passed a bill that spends more money on mental health and school safety. It won't take away law-abiding citizens' rights. Some people say the bill does things it doesn't. They're wrong. I'm setting the record straight. The bill does good things and protects people's rights. I'm proud of it.”
“I want to praise the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It's a good bill. It does not take away people's gun rights. It just makes sure people under 21 don't buy guns if they have a criminal record. Some people said the bill would take away all guns. That's not true. The bill only stopped a few young people from buying guns who shouldn't have. I'm happy about that. I worked hard on this bill with Senator Cornyn and others. We did a good job. The bill protects people's rights and makes them safer. It's Congress at its best. I want to keep working on more bills like this.”
“I want to compliment Senator Tillis. He worked hard on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. The issue is emotional. Some people lied about the bill. We knew they might lie. We worked on it anyway. I think young people with mental illness should not have guns. Many gun deaths are suicides. That is sad.”
“I think mass shooters are suicidal. They want to die. They don't have the courage to kill themselves. So they attack until the police shoot them. I don't think this law took away anyone's gun rights.”
“I want you to prove this bill caused a problem. You said it would. I don't think it did. I think you lied. I'm upset about that. I care about the Second Amendment. I think this bill was good. I want you to admit you were wrong.”
“I want to compliment Lindsey Graham. He is well-liked. He tried to replace Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act is not affordable. Premiums and deductibles are rising fast. This is a problem for small businesses. People are putting healthcare costs on credit cards. I have a plan to fix this. It gives tax credits to families. It promotes price transparency. My plan will help people afford healthcare.”
