I was the last person on the floor January 6, and the idea that this guy is the Republican nominee to be speaker, a guy who aggressively agitated the activities that happened on January 6, I think is disgusting, Rep.

The bottom line is we’ve got to get back to work.

We don’t have any time here to waste, Rep.
