The images of protests around the Capitol following Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to Congress are disgraceful and I condemn them in the strongest possible terms.
These Hamas allies must be held accountable for their actions.
We must call out and rebuke these antisemitic protestors and their hateful, terrorist supporting rhetoric.

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has just finished addressing Congress. ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ
I am proud to be a strong and unequivocal voice in support of Israel. The enemies of Israel are the enemies of the United States. They are dangerous and relentless.
We must remain steadfast in our support of Israelโs right to self-defense and self-determination.
It is critical that Israel is able to defend itself and ultimately achieve its military objective: to dismantle Hamas.
It is in Americaโs best interest to support Israel, our unwavering ally and the only democracy in the Middle East.

We all know everything feels harder and life is more expensive, but to see the figures really puts it in perspective.
Prices are up 20.1% since Biden took office.
It's time to STOP runaway government tax-and-spend policies, and return to fiscal sanity.
When I am talking to my neighbors and friends in the Fifth District, the number one thing I hear about is the economy.
The only way to get our economy back on track is to STOP the out-of-control spending in Washington.
When I was a State Senator, I was a strong voice for fiscal sanity and I will proudly continue to hold that mantle in Congress as your Representative.

Americans are left with more questions than answers. While President Biden may have made a political decision to step aside from the election, I remain deeply concerned about his health and ability to execute the enormous responsibility of being President of the United States of America.
For those in his Cabinet, and his rubber stamps in Congress, how could you put the Country in jeopardy, and how can you defend him remaining in office?
As we see Iran, Russia and China continue to provoke allies and make advances against the United States, the decline of the President and the willingness of Democrats to cover it up continues to weaken our country and threaten our national security.
This is bigger than campaign politics. These questions need answers.
