Watch her full interview here.
Below is a transcript of her full remarks:
Welcome to the Republican Majority in the 118th Congress. House Republicans are hitting the ground running, and we are laser-focused on passing our Commitment to America agenda and much needed critical oversight of the Biden Administration.
Yesterday, we passed the most Member-driven and transparent rules package in history and finally ended Democrats' authoritarian reign on our nation's Capitol. We restored and fully opened the People’s House.
Our first orders of legislative business have been exactly what we promised to the American people.
We promised on day one to repeal Joe Biden's army of 87,000 new IRS Agents. Yesterday, we did just that.
Today, we will counter the Chinese Communist Party with our Select Committee on China, we will vote to protect every Americans’ Constitutional Rights with the new Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, we will also vote to stop the Biden Administration from selling our Strategic Petroleum Reserves to China.
And of course this week, as thousands prepare to stand for life in our nation's capital next week, we will continue to hold the line and protect the most vulnerable among us by bringing the Born-Alive Survivors Protection bill to the floor.
And we are just getting started!
House Republicans are unified and united in our effort to implement our Commitment to America to save this country.
