Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Gaetz).

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield the gentleman from Florida an additional 30 seconds.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, this past year, government told Americans: You can't go to church, you can't go to work, you can't go to school. One hour ago, Democrats told Republicans, new rules--new rules for the House. Today, you can say anything you want about the President, no rule on decorum, no rule about attacking personality. They can say anything they want, and we see we have done that. Today, on the floor, you have to wear a mask. If your masks comes below your nose, you are going to get fined. And in order to come in here and debate and constitutionally represent your constituents, the 750,000 people we all get the privilege of serving, you had to walk through a metal detector. And they did all those changes with less than 40 minutes of debate. And, tomorrow, they are going to impeach a President, a President who is leaving office in 8 days--8 days before there will be a peaceful transfer of power, just like there has been every other time in American history. But they are going to do impeachment. They are going to do it, again. They have been obsessed with it. It is truly an obsession. People on the Democrat side started calling for impeachment the day President Trump was inaugurated. They attacked him before he even won the first election, before he won in 2016. They attacked him that summer when they started their investigation. This is scary, where this goes, because this is more than about impeaching the President of the United States; this is about canceling the President and canceling all the people you guys disagree with. That is what scares me more than anything. We have seen it play out over the past several days. I never thought I would see the things that we are now witnessing. I don't know where it ends, but I will tell you what: It should scare us all. And I said this in the Committee on the Judiciary--and the gentleman from Maryland will remember this--the cancel culture doesn't just go after conservatives and Republicans. It won't just stop there. It will come for us all. That is what is frightening. And I hope you all recognize that and that at some point we can unite and actually do things that help those folks back home that we all get the privilege of representing. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Herrell).

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
