In all humility, I don't know that an endorsement from Mark Meadows is going to make a difference as much as the commitment of that particular candidate to really represent the people.

If there's a conservative district and we have a commitment from someone to join the Freedom Caucus, that sends a very strong message.

When you serve, whether it's here in the House or in the White House or anywhere else, it's a distinct honor and privilege and so that's about the extent of it.

We have a crisis with a need to secure the border.

I've put forth measures that would actually eliminate some of the executive branch power. You know, philosophically, that's where I am.

Why should we allow a Democrat President in the White House to use executive orders and not do the same with a Republican President?

I can tell you that anyone who knows me knows that there is not a racial bone in my body.

Any time you tell the president of the United States you're not there, is it difficult? I would say extremely difficult.

The last thing you want to do is go up against someone in your own party and certainly your own president.

I am friends with both men, President Trump and Chairman Cummings. I know both men well. Neither man is a racist. Period. Both love America.

From the moment Donald Trump was inaugurated, Washington Democrats have been myopically focused on politically targeting his administration and impeaching him.

I, along with many of my Republican colleagues, believe there is so much more we can do for those who are trapped in our social safety net programs. But we are limited by the level of discourse with which of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are willing to engage.

Can we have a serious conversation about improving the integrity of our poverty programs in this country?

Unfortunately, Democrats don't want to wage a war on poverty or improve program integrity; they prefer talking points.

It's the oldest trick in Washington - when presented with a policy solution you don't like, characterize it as the bogeyman.

Many industries in my home state of North Carolina will greatly benefit from the USMCA.

Once the USMCA is sent to Congress, the House has a responsibility to step up and swiftly ratify the agreement.

Every major industry sector in the U.S. would be positively impacted by the USMCA, with blue-collar manufacturing jobs seeing the most significant gains.

President Trump promised to negotiate trade agreements to get better deals for America and protect American jobs. Bottom line: He delivered.

My colleagues and friends in the Freedom Caucus believe something very simple: Our country deserves a secure border and immigration laws that put the safety, security and prosperity of Americans first.

Let's vote to fund the wall.

Activist court rulings, a broken infrastructure, and widening loopholes, have thrown our immigration system into an unmistakable chaos.

The fact that the Clinton campaign and the DNC paid intelligence officials in Russia for salacious and false information on President Trump is suspicious enough.

At minimum, we must recognize that there are legitimate, unanswered questions about whether the Obama Justice Department involved themselves in a political project targeting then-candidate Donald Trump - a suggestion that has far more evidence behind it than the directionless investigation into Trump/Russian collusion.
