                  QUESTIONING SUPPORT FOR DONALD TRUMP

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to question my Republican 
colleagues' continued support of Donald Trump. He does not support our 
country nor their party.
  He rejects our American Constitution. He steals Republican funds. For 
example, he raised $150 million for Republican candidates and then kept 
all the money for himself and his rallies.
  He insults Americans of faith and used the Bible as a prop during a 
promotional shoot. He attacks Republican officials and works to remove 
them from office. Now he could face Federal prosecution for his role in 
the January 6 insurrection.
  I am proud to be part of the Democratic Party that works for the 
American people, not one person. Yet, too many Republicans support 
Donald Trump more than our country. It does not make sense to me nor 
the American people.
