LEADER JEFFRIES: "PASSING THE SUPPLEMENTAL IS A MATTER OF AMERICA'S URGENT NATIONAL SECURITY"

Press Conference

"Good afternoon everyone. It's my honor to be joined by a highly distinguished group of patriotic Americans who have served this country in uniform, served this country in combat and now are serving this country in the United States Congress. They understand through their own life experiences of service how urgent it is that the House pass forth with the bipartisan and comprehensive national security bill that has been advanced in the United States Senate. This is a matter of America's urgent national security. It's a matter of democracy. It's a matter of freedom. It's a matter of standing by our allies. And in the absence of doing so, particularly as it relates to the ongoing war of aggression launched by Russia against Ukraine, it's a matter of American lives potentially being on the line if Ukraine and its brave war effort falters because of inaction here in the United States Congress by extreme MAGA Republicans. It is my honor to yield to a highly distinguished member of Congress, an Army Ranger, someone who has served multiple tours of duty and fought valiantly for this country in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Congressman Jason Crow."
