Mr. KRISHNAMOORTHI. Mr. Speaker, I am so glad our friends have changed their mantra from ``stop the steal'' to ``start to heal.''

But in order to heal, you have to take strong medicine, and that medicine happens to be the truth. My friends, the truth is, unfortunately, this President is no longer fit to serve.

We cannot trust this President to protect American democracy after he encouraged his supporters ``fight like hell'' in storming the Capitol.

We cannot trust him to protect American safety after he told these violent seditionists, ``We love you. You are very special.''

We cannot trust this President to tell right from wrong even today when he said that his remarks on January 6 were ``totally appropriate.''

Mr. Speaker, we cannot trust this President to protect us when he instigated a mob that tried to kill us.
