"I think the fact of the matter is Congress has a very serious responsibility for oversight. I think the House Intelligence Committee, the House Judiciary Committee are going to continue to do that. We'll have a discussion as a Caucus on Monday. Things in [the report] are very disturbing. But I also think we've got to remember the American people are worried about a lot of other things so we have got to do both…We have got to have oversight. That's a clear responsibility. But we also have to get about lowering prescription drug prices."
"This President has attacked some of the fundamental foundations of our Constitution…[Democrats] can keep getting the facts, but we can't let it sidetrack us from worrying about the canister, the asthma canister that is costing $700 and hurting the working mom."
"…everywhere I go from Ann Arbor to Down River, they're worried about prescription drugs, they're worried about pre-existing conditions, they're worried about fixing the roads."
