Iraq

Soto (D-FL-9) 12/20/2021: Tweet – “Today we honored our Global War on Terror Veterans at 65th Infantry Veterans Park in @OsceolaCountyFl.

Graham (R-SC) 12/19/2021: Twitter thread – “The White House statement attacking Senator Manchin for deciding to vote no regarding Build Back Better is “Baghdad Bob” laughable.    The White House continues to repeat the lie that Build Back Better is fully paid for. The CBO analysis is not fake and Build Back Better without budget gimmicks will add $3 trillion to the deficit.    Additionally the Green New Deal provisions in Build Back Better would dramatically increase energy costs, adding to inflation. The true cost of Build Back Better — $5 trillion over 10 years, not $1.75 trillion — is the wrong medicine to address the ills of the nation's economy. The White House's lame attempts to attack CBO and Senator Manchin to hide the devastating impact of Build Back Better is not working and will not work.”

King (I-ME) 12/19/2021: Twitter thread – “Johnny Isakson was the picture of a decent, honorable, and honest public servant. He listened closely to his colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and worked to find common ground that served Georgians and people across the nation. Johnny was particularly passionate when it came to serving America's military and veterans; he was always responsive and helpful when I came to him with issues facing Maine's military community. I saw this commitment firsthand when we visited with servicemembers in Iraq. Link to image I will miss my friend, and I am holding his family and friends in my thoughts today.”

Horn of Africa

Cardin (D-MD) 12/20/2021: Tweet – “I welcome the UNHRC resolution to establish an independent investigation into abuses committed by all the armed parties in the conflict in #Ethiopia.

Manning (D-NC-6) 12/19/2021: Twitter thread – “I am appalled by the Antisemitic flyers that were distributed across Greensboro this morning in driveways and on porches, causing great distress to many people who reached out to me with concerns. These flyers spread hatred and false information about the COVID-19 pandemic. I'm urging local law enforcement to do everything they can to bring the culprits to justice. This attack follows a year of increased instances of Antisemitic violence across the country. Antisemitic actions like this are designed to instill fear and spread bigotry. I join fellow members of the Greensboro Jewish community in standing against these intimidation tactics. As Vice Chair of the Middle East, North Africa, and Global Counterterrorism Subcommittee and as a member of the Antisemitism Task Force, I remain committed to rooting out bigotry, discrimination and Antisemitism in every form.”
