Holding up placards outside the funerals of dead american soldiers. Celebrating schoolroom massacres. Westboro Baptist Church has been described as the most obnoxious, hate filled group in america. Megan phelps roper was part of that group. She was born into the church. She carried those hate filled placards from the age of five years old. But as an adult, firing off tweets against online critics, megan began to doubt. Eventually, she left the church altogether, but she paid a high price. The church was founded by her grandfather. She was shunned by those she loved the most. Can she still really regard the people who taught her to hate, to desire more death, that the world was going to hell, as her beloved, wonderful mum and dad . Megan phelps roper, welcome to hardtalk.

[inaudible conversations] how is everybody today . Good morning. I want to begin by taking a moment to commemorate the life of one of the most important members to watch these halls. Elijah cummings was beloved by both sides of the aisle. He was a fighter, a leader and most importantly our friend. His legacy will outlive every person in this room today. Legacies have changed last a very long time. They grow from generation to generation by compounding interest or a snowball rolling down a hill. It is my sincere hope that his wife, maia and his family find peace. Elijah has left a mark on this chamber and in this country. I would like to talk about the business of the week, House Democrats continue to work to overturn the results of the 2016 election and they are doing so through an unfair and unprecedented impeachment inquiry. They are fixated on tearing down the president and not fixing the countrys problems and there are countless examples of important work being ignored. Let me star
