Senator Sullivan: (7:06 PM)

  • Spoke on the DoD appropriations bill.
    • "I want to remind my colleagues that if you went back home, regardless of where you live, regardless of what party you're in, and you asked your constituents, hey, should we be funding our military right now? Should we be funding the men and women who are overseas risking their lives keeping this nation safe? The answer of probably virtually every American in the United States of America would be yes. But I want to remind my colleagues that what just happened on the Senate floor, another filibuster of spending for our troops, wasn't the first time. Indeed, this is the bill that the minority leader of the United States Senate has decided he wants to filibuster more than any other bill that we have brought up in the last year and a half. This evening's vote was the sixth time that the minority leader of the United States Senate has led a filibuster against funding for our troops."
