I was ashamed to hear that uttered on this floor today because I know that many Americans, many Wisconsin residents, do a lot of effort to help those when they're most in need, including in operation allies. Welcome, Mr. Speaker. I spent weeks living at Fort McCoy working with Afghan refugees when their own right wing government took over and Kabul fell. I was proud to be part of that effort. And it is galling to me that on the floor today we are hearing such hate and vitriol for those individuals and communities at Fort McCoy. (00:41–00:52)
