House Speaker Statement After Passage of NDAA and other Bills

Published | Video Starts at 02:18

And in these new legislative victories, Democrats, on the other hand, have to go home. They have to answer for why they voted against funding our troops, against funding the government, against common sense policies like voter ID and proof of citizenship, and against a popular ban on members of Congress purchasing individual stocks. We, we have three and a half months to go until this election. We are going to run through the tape. (02:18–02:37)
