The speaker pro tempore without objection. Those who are placed in positions of leadership particularly those legitimated by the people have a responsibility to put their shortterm interests aside for the greater collective good. We have a problem with america with violence in our streets, destruction of property and hateful rhetoric towards police and innocent bystanders every day. As a result, people are fleeing our cities in droves. Many socalled leaders have said people will do what they do and needs to be unress in the streets. No justice, no peace. We have all heard it. If such indirect encouragement is not bad enough, continued silence is even worse. The idea after an assassination attempt of two sheriffs, the former attorney general, top cop and remaining silent is outrageous. In response to the president s constitutional duty to nominate a Supreme Court justice, the far left stated let this moment radicalize you. They later stated, nothing is off the table. Just now it was just stated, do so at your peril. This incites lawlessness. We can disagree on policy but we need real leaders who need to follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther king. I yield back.
