Rep. Randy Weber: "The fires in Paris should be a warning to Western Civilization. If America doesn’t turn the socialist ship around & reject the woke, America-hating culture that comes with it, we’ll soon find ourselves in the same boat as France."

Rep. Lloyd Doggett: "Despite the lack of evidence of Russian inference or other foreign involvement in the U.S. election, Trump and his GOP enablers continue to spread baseless claims of voter fraud while simultaneously dismantling the infrastructure that keeps our elections secure."

Rep. Pete Sessions: " I am focused on protecting Americans and taxpayers from fraud, waste, and abuse."

Rep. Dan Crenshaw: " The riots in France are a sad reminder that civilization can be torn down in an instant by the fools who never could have built it in the first place. Our civilization is worth protecting. It took centuries to build, but it only takes one generation to destroy it."
