Rep. Chris Smith Thanks C-SPAN for Covering Hearing on Political and Religious Persecution in China: ‘They Have Chosen to Amplify Your Voices’

TRANSCRIPT:

SMITH: “I do want to make a note that C-SPAN is covering this hearing gavel to gavel. They did so last week with Jimmy Lai’s son, Sebastien. And I want to thank them publicly because they have full editorial discretion as to what they cover. They’re totally independent and they have chosen to amplify your voices and Pastor Jin earlier. And I’m very, very grateful that more Americans now will get to see your appeal to President Trump and to Xi Jinping, on behalf of the causes your sister, the Falun Gong, and your — sister and your son. And I think that’s so important. So, thank you to C-SPAN.”
