Relevant Statements

  • “Xi Jinping would like to see nothing else than the West lose and America lose in this war. So we can’t give up on (Ukrainian president Volodymyr) Zelenskyy; this is about freedom. But we have to make sure that every nickel of taxpayer money is spent wisely, that its audited in the right way, and that our allies are stepping up.”

  • “As a member of the Intelligence Committee, I’ve read reports that I believe paint a stark picture of the grave threats America and our allies face. Allowing Russia, China, Iran, and their proxies to steamroll our allies will not put our interests first or keep America safe.”
