You can strike it from the record, but you can't strike it from the internet.

But Congressman McGovern's words not stricken from MSNBC - thank you!

[elisaalvarez]

Thank you, Jim McGovern!! We definitely need more representatives like you!! Hopefully, we Democrats will have the House back, keep the Senate and the Presidency! 💙💙💙

[rgkavendek]

His words are NOT stricken from the American people!!! ✊✊ GREAT JOB REP. JIM

[xelamercedes]

Jim McGovern is a giant. Wow!! Plain truth, methodically, eloquently, masterfully spoken. This is what "doing your job" looks like, House MAGA. Take note.

[CBlargh]

He said absolutely nothing about the guilt or innocence of the failed former president!
He said he's on trial.
Which is a fact.

[roseburgett]

McGovern did not accuse or attack. He reported facts.

[natart]

Good for him! Speaking truth in the House is rare but welcome!

[charlesh]

Congressman McGovern spoke the truth! The American people deserve the truth!

[michaelhowell]

When facts cannot be spoken in Congress it's time to start over.

[barbarabauling]

Bravo Mr McGovern, try it again tomorrow! 💙

[louisemargaret]

Double standards .. absolutely disgusting.. 😤🤬😤

[bbriley]

The only "sham" is the entire bootlicking republican party.

[sharondavid-melly]

Give Rep McGovern a medal for standing for the American
Voice of the American people.

[angelahoward]

When telling the truth is out of order, something is definitely out of order.

[natart]

I love that the clerk had to repeat the statement!

[sherribogdanowicz]

THANK YOU!!!!
PLEASE SIR! MCGOVERN,
GIVE US MORE!!!

[cjdvkcd]

Classic. The house is a clown show with maga in charge.

[MaureenCahill-bkmh]

this episode needs to be remembered for the farce that the Republican House has become.

[lenninyberg]

We need to get these do- nothing gop “ representatives” out. They should have to forfeit their pay.
