GOP rep slams Pelosi in fiery House floor speech: "Her argument is that I am a BIGOT"

no matter how many times speaker pelosi and the democrats continue to say that there is not a publicly funded program to put money directly into her members congressional campaigns it doesn't make her statement true in this bill it's the first ever corporate money since 1907 that has laundered through the federal government through the department of treasury and goes right into our own congressional campaigns up to seven million dollars using 2020 numbers and also i'm just i i am angry that the speaker continues to talk about states like georgia following the law to make sure that their voter rolls are complete and accurate when in her own home state of california the corrupt secretary of state would not even commit to removing over 400 000 deceased or moved voters from the voter rolls and they many of them if not all of them got live ballots this bill this bill would place the corruption that we see in california and export it nationwide and let me tell you that corrupt secretary of state what a deal we now call him a u.s senator now i'd like to make sure that i give one minute to my good friend from texas mr roy gentleman's recognized for one minute thank the gentleman uh madam speaker i would point out that the speaker of the house came to the floor and used her magic minute but doesn't stay on the floor in debate there is no debate on this floor and then the speaker said that there's amendments 56 amendments 49 of them are democratic amendments hand selected by a small group in the rules committee 49 are democratic amendments so don't buy into the kabuki theater that you're seeing on the floor of the house of representatives but you know what i can't ask to take down the words of the speaker even though the essence of her argument is that i'm a bigot let's be very clear the arguments being distilled on the floor today is that republicans my colleagues and i that we are bigots why because they use fancy words like voter suppression to say that we are wanting to tamp down people's access to polls and nothing can be further from the truth heaven forbid we want to use voter identification heaven forbid we want to honor the will of the people through their legislatures in the states passing rules to make sure that our system is actually working using voter identification that the american people use to fly that the american people use to do everything else if i demand that gentlemen's times expire i'm a bigot are you back lady from california
