Mr. RASKIN. Mr. Speaker, I thank Congresswoman Jayapal. She has been
a sensational leader within the Democratic Caucus and within the
Congressional Progressive Caucus, especially on the issues of
immigration and the rights of refugees. It is such an honor to be able
to serve with her. I appreciate being able to spend some moments just
reflecting on what took place in our Chamber last night with the
President's speech. We should start by giving credit where credit is due. This speech was
not ``American Carnage II.'' It was a vast improvement, I would say,
over all of the violent and apocalyptic imagery and rhetoric that we
saw in the inaugural address.
