                  BASELESS ATTACKS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 22, 2019

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, since the day President 
Donald Trump was elected, bitter Democrats have been obsessively 
scheming for any sign of alleged wrongdoing and citing impeachment of 
the duly elected President. Every time a new accusation comes to light, 
it is contrived by unsubstantiated evidence and later disproved, 
wasting already over $35 million of taxpayers' hard earned money. It is 
disappointing that instead of addressing issues for American families, 
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continues this divisive, unsubstantiated 
attack on President Trump.
  Instead of addressing issues truly affecting Americans, such as 
passing the United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement (USMCA) or repealing 
the unjust ``Widow's Tax,'' House Democrats continues this attempt to 
mislead the American people with baseless attacks on President Trump. 
The House Speaker's refusal to hold a floor vote where all House 
members can vote to authorize this inquiry conceals a public process. 
Let me be clear, there is no reason for these accusations aside from 
bitter partisan politics.
  In conclusion, God Bless our Troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
