Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to declare that I stand with Susan Rice.
Just as I stood in line, and my constituents stood in line, for hours on Election Day to vote, I stand here today.
But only stronger.
Just as we stood for and with President Obama on November 6th, we stand with him today as he stands up for Susan Rice our young, gifted Ambassador.
We must continue to stand for what is right in this nation Mr. Speaker, and that is what I have come here to do.
Susan Rice deserves respect, not the questioning of her integrity.
I applaud President Obama for standing for what is right and what is just.
I applaud President Obama for standing in support of Ambassador Rice.
We all need to continue to stand for truth. We need to stand for transparency.
We do not need to impugn our officials over rumors, dangerous hearsay, or conspiracy theories.
We must not allow the post of Ms. Rice to be politicized as it has been, Mr. Speaker.
We must not allow Susan Rice to be a fall guy for the failed election bid of Mitt Romney and his Republican cronies.
