the victims of superstorm sandy. this erupted tuesday night. the anger i m telling you about, it was palpable. it s inexcusable, and i am here tonight saying to myself for the first time that i m not proud of the decision my team has made. to ignore the plight of millions of american citizens, unprecedented, disgusting, unworthy of the leadership of this house. last night the house of representatives failed that most basic test of public service and they did so with callous indifference to the suffering of the people of my state. join me is the mayor of raspberry park, new jersey and christine lewis, whose home was virtually destroyed by superstorm sandy. it s good of you to come in. thank you. good morning.
