Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I have been listening to this debate, and I am struck by the appalling ability of the Members of the other side who are so afraid of this President. They are willing to lie to the American people because they fear the tweet of a President more than they fear the wrath of the voters at the ballot box. This will come home to roost because 17 million people are going to lose their healthcare.

In Texas, we are one of the largest creators of clean energy jobs. Texas is the energy State. I am proud to be an energy State. We have vast amounts of oil and gas jobs, but we also are the largest creator of clean energy jobs. We will lose millions of jobs in our State because Republicans of this delegation are going to vote for this bill.

In response to Representative Nehls, I am a proud graduate of the University of Texas. I think Texas A&M and our elite University of Texas deserve to have the funding in our universities.

With this bill, we must vote it down. I condemn the Republicans in the State of Texas who are going to harm our State with their support of this bill.
