ACOSTA Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi ░░░░░░░░ Illinois he s a ░░░░░░░░ of the House Intelligence ░░░░░░░░ Oversight Committees I guess ░░░░░░░░ is a little bit ░░░░░░░░ of your domain congressman ░░░░░░░░ you are a Democrat ░░░░░░░░ thank you very much ░░░░░░░░ being here Just the ░░░░░░░░ day Congresswoman Greene was ░░░░░░░░ that earthquakes and eclipses ░░░░░░░░ strong signs from God ░░░░░░░░ us to repent Why ░░░░░░░░ anybody listening to what ░░░░░░░░ has to say KRISHNAMOORTHI ░░░░░░░░ don t know And ░░░░░░░░ think that somebody had ░░░░░░░░ that she s oftentimes ░░░░░░░░ Russian talking points on ░░░░░░░░ floor of the House ░░░░░░░░ mean this is crazy ░░░░░░░░ that she talks is ░░░░░░░░ moment when I think ░░░░░░░░ Democrats tend to do ░░░░░░░░ opposite of what she ░░░░░░░░ and actually moderate and ░░░░░░░░ centrist Republicans do the ░░░░░░░░ ACOSTA But it does ░░░░░░░░ the larger issue as ░░░░░░░░ what is going to ░░░░░░░░ to Speaker Johnson Do ░░░░░░░░ think his job is ░░░░░░░░ at this point Would ░░░░░░░░ back an effort to ░░░░░░░░ him if Marjorie Taylor ░░░░░░░░ brings a motion to ░░░░░░░░ to the House floor ░░░░░░░░ Look if Speaker Johnson ░░░░░░░░ Ukraine aid to the ░░░░░░░░ and other aid packages ░░░░░░░░ the floor and does ░░░░░░░░ right thing and then ░░░░░░░░ Taylor Greene seeks to ░░░░░░░░ him or moves to ░░░░░░░░ him I think that ░░░░░░░░ would join in a ░░░░░░░░ to kill such a ░░░░░░░░ because he should not ░░░░░░░░ punished for doing the ░░░░░░░░ thing ACOSTA And how ░░░░░░░░ is that to occur ░░░░░░░░ you think that could ░░░░░░░░ happen We might see ░░░░░░░░ happen KRISHNAMOORTHI It could ░░░░░░░░ very interestingly among my ░░░░░░░░ colleagues especially moderates and ░░░░░░░░ they feel that there ░░░░░░░░ t a lot of ░░░░░░░░ for her motion and ░░░░░░░░ she may not make ░░░░░░░░ But all that being ░░░░░░░░ we should be prepared ░░░░░░░░ anything And we ve ░░░░░░░░ this movie before and ░░░░░░░░ we ll be I ░░░░░░░░ not surprised if it ░░░░░░░░ But I m hoping ░░░░░░░░ if he does the ░░░░░░░░ thing he won t ░░░░░░░░ punished for doing that.”
