"The hospital administrator is a woman. She's a good lady. And the doctor is an immigrant."
Statement from Irwin County Hospital being read on the House Floor in debate on @RepJayapal's #Hres1153
They won't say how many surgeries Dr. Amin has performed.
Say it. We dare you.
Dr. Mahendra Amin "has been in good standing" for the entirety of his time at Irwin County Hospital.
Even when he was settling with DOJ for $520k, apparently.
.@RepLouCorrea "Why would ICE contract with a medical provider who was fined half a million dollars by the DOJ?"
Doug Collins should be asked how many surgeries they did at ICDC on women locked inside there.
Either he knows and won't say or he doesn't care to ask.
Doug Collins says there's no substantiated claim of mistreatment from ICDC.
He should ask some of the women inside. He hasn't.
But keep flogging that straw man.
What I really don't understand is how they've just blown past the fact that there were MORE referrals to the hospital for hysterectomies than there were hysterectomies performed.
Someone really outta ask why that was. (Spoiler: We know)
House Rs - I yield to my colleague to request things we're not doing during this debate.
Chair: That's not what's happening now, but, like, keep trying.
The Gentlewoman from Arizona is recognized to allow several Rs to cut their campaign ads on the taxpayer's dime, relying on their perceived stupidity of constituents, who won't know that their video happened in the context of 10 prior requests. But sure. Do your TV spots.
@JacksonLeeTX18 points out these Members will be able to vote on the HEROES Bill tomorrow.
Now it's time to dive in on #HRes1153 and 1154
"Just last week, with butterflies in my stomach . . . and concern for a young woman, 29 years old, about to enter into a plane . . . who did have . . . her fallopian tube removed without her consent."
Women are used to having medical procedures without their consent. #HRes1153
"Who would compare white nationalism and white supremacy . . . to Western civilization . . . the foundation of the American civilization . . . the First World?"
Steve King - attempting to rehab his white supremacy by proving it.
("American" civilization existed before Vespucci)
Steve King now decrying a "political lynch mob" while not saying anything about the ACTUAL lynch mobs hectoring peaceful protestors.
