. >> i'm curious, leigh ann, what have you learned from mr. mccarthy's office ant matt gaetz. he is actively harassing liz cheney, doing exactly what supposedly kevin mccarthy asked members of the conference not to do, not to attack fellow members, not to name check them. he is proactively doing this, flying to wyoming, creating a stir. and perhaps putting her in a bit more danger by surfacing this event so much. is he going to get any sort of reprimand here from kevin mccarthy? >> not at this moment. mccarthy has been silent on matt gaetz other than generally telling the conference yesterday to stop attacking one another. but as far as liz cheney is concerned, just a week ago he said at his press conference that he absolutely supports liz cheney being conference chair and then on some shows over the weekend he said that there were some things that she did wrong. and so he is obviously paging to pressure, polling pressure, political pressure to really have this double standard and not take a clear stance on what is -- where the party stands and it's leaving a lot of members ve

congressman gaetz, i understand mr. firebrand, your best selling book, they are targeting you, there targeting dan bongino. he's a tiny owner of parler, he invested in it because he believes in free speech. i know what he did it. i would be a risky investment for anybody, he wants it to succeed, and i support him in that effort. it now they want to go after you, too. >> you are absolutely right. we should take note of the language the left is using, chemical warfare, insurrection, domestic terrorism, that's not by accident. if there are exquisite authorities international laws that allow our government to do things to terrorists that we would never allow against our own people. in the incoming biden in to administration, they want to use those authorities against maggot. if they are targeting paul gosar, it andy bigs, madison cawthorn and myself because we had the nerve to actually standp and point out the need for election integrity, and we also pointed out their hypocrisy. for all of the criticism they have leveled ag

mr. gaetz: i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio, do you wish to reserve your time? the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: madam speaker, i now yield one minute to the distinguished gentleman from california, mr. swalwell. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized for one minute. mr. swalwell: america has been attacked before, but not like this. on january 6, donald trump incited thousands of radicalized terrorists to attack the capital to stop a transition of power. let that sink in. our president incited our citizens to attack our capitol. america was not attacked in the past sense. this president has inspired future plots. america is still under attack, and that's why donald trump must be impeached. i've read many of my g.o.p. colleagues know what the president is wrong but are afraid for their lives if they cross the president. i'm sorry that you're living in fear, but now is a time to summage your courage to guide you. we have all seen t

. >> mr. gaetz. >> seems to me that impeachment is an itch that doesn't go away with just one scratch. it also seems that president trump may be most likely to be impeached when he is correct. before the last presidential impeachment, president trump rightly pointed out the improper activities of the biden crime family and subsequently he's been proven right. don't think for a moment, madam speaker, that we're going to drop that or stop our pursuit for the truth. before that we had the russia hoax where you had the president rightly making claims that hillary clinton and the dnc were colluding with russians to disorient our democracy. how right he turned out to be. and then we have the 2020 presidential election where the president correctly pointed out unconstitutional behavior, voting irregularities, concerns over tabulations, dead people voting, and now impeachment again. when they go low, we kick them. eric holder, former attorney general under barack obama, breaching the capitol was as lo

mr. gaetz: thank you, mr. speaker. they may be calling on the vice president, but based on his letter, he's not answering. everybody in this country knows that they want to do -- wanted to impeople president trump on his first day -- impeach president trump on his first day in office. all he did in the middle was rescue our economy, rebuild our military, reform the v.a. and reduce america's involvement in foreign wars. now, i join the bipartisan caucus condemning the violence that we saw at our capitol. but the hypocrisy is just down right disorienting. president trump called for protests that would be peaceful and patriotic. he got labeled a national security threat. yet the gentlelady from california can call on her supporters to get physical and in the faces of republicans and she gets the chairmanship of the financial services committee. republican members of congress utilize a process contemplated in the constitution to offer an objection and we were labeled seditionists. democrat members of congress raised funds

mr. hoyer: i rise in opsigs to the objection. the speaker: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. hoyer: it is a sad day in america. it is a wrenching day in america. in a day -- it is a day in which r words and our actions have had consequences of a very, very negative nature. we ought to watch our words. and think what it may mean to ome. remarks were written before the tragic, dangerous and unacceptable actions and unacceptable is a tame word. my remarks started with, madam speaker, the american people are witnessing the greatest challenges to our democracy in its 244-year history. that this i know capitol would be attacked by the enemy within. i was here on 9/11 when we were attacked by the enemy without. to eed to all work together tame and reduce the anger. some s, the hate that .toke but some, not all, madam speaker, but some in this house and senate what they are doing today will not change the outcome of the election, which is the clear and insurmountable biden and ele
