MEMBER OF CONGRESS
Arrington frequently praises fellow Republicans as gentlemen and statesmen while painting Democrats as destructive and incompetent. He dodges direct questions by changing the subject, especially to immigration. Arrington pushes for voter ID laws, tighter border security, and increased military spending with minimal oversight.
House of Representatives
“I like the other guy. He's nice. I want this bill to pass. It spends money on the military and farmers. People should feel good about elections. Our country needs that.”
“I say you are wrong. I say we don't hurt people. We stop fraud. We stop bad people from taking money. We make sure only the right people get help. I am proud of what we do. I think people agree with us. I don't like what you say. I want my friend to talk now.”
“You are wrong. I don't like your argument. You say we want to hurt people. We want to stop fraud. We want to spend less money. You say bad things about us. I want people to look at the official numbers. The numbers show we aren't so bad.”
“I want to praise a man. He is a good leader. I will let him talk now.”
“You had total control. You taxed businesses. You attacked energy production. You waved work rules. You let illegals get benefits. You gave tax breaks to green energy. You spent hundreds of billions. I say our policies are good. I say we helped many people. I say you should vote yes.”
“I say Democrats had many chances to support voter ID. Most Americans want voter ID. You need ID for many things. But Democrats don't want ID for voting. I think voter ID is important for our country. I want people to have confidence in elections. I want voter ID.”
“I don't want to talk about spending on war. I want to talk about immigration. I say immigrants cost us money. I say that is bad. I want to talk about something else. I will not say anything more about this topic.”
“You Democrats spent $200 billion on Ukraine's war. You didn't care about that cost. But now you want offsets when we want to send more money to our troops. I think that's wrong. I want you to support our troops without offsets. I will not question the President's competence or talk about preventing wars. I just want you to spend more money on our troops without offsets.”
“I want to talk about something from years ago. I brought up Chuck Schumer from 2018. He said Russia interfered in elections. But that was debunked. I don't want to talk about the actual bill. I am changing the subject. I hope people will talk about something else. I want to thank my friend for his work on this bill.”
“I don't like what you said. I want to argue with you. Republicans reduced deficits. We cut spending. Our bill was good. It helped the economy grow. People have more money now. We did a good job. I want you to know that.”
“I agree with the agriculture chairman. Farmers and ranchers are sad. It's not their fault. Drought and disasters caused losses. Disease hurt them too. That affects the food supply. We don't want to rely on China. We need to pass this bill to help farmers.”
“You are bad. The other side is bad and mean. They are blocking defense funding. Our troops are in danger. They need money and support. We need to pass this bill to give them resources. I don't like that the other side is blocking funding.”
“You are bad. The other side is bad and mean. They hurt America. We are good. We fix problems. We help working families. We make America strong. We protect the border. We stop crime. We make prices lower. Democrats don't listen. They hurt America on purpose. They shut down the government. They hold America hostage. They put us in danger. We are good. We fix problems. We stop bad things. We make America safe. We protect elections. We restore trust. Democrats should join us. We are good.”
