Every one of them is a traitor to conservative values and I question whether they were ever Republicans to begin with. Endorsing the party of infanticide who wants to strip us of our God-given right to defend ourselves is simply disgusting. Good riddance! https://t.co/x7uTCs4aMT

It’s very suspect of the FDA to withhold authorization of plasma for COVID patients - a treatment used thousands of times every day for various conditions. This should be a decision between patient & doctor. Does someone at the FDA have a political agenda? https://t.co/rhwE4xbzA3

Dianne and I offer our condolences and prayers for President @realDonaldTrump and family after the loss of his brother, Robert, last night. May he Rest In Peace.

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

Last night, Twitter censored @realDonaldTrump for suggesting children are far less susceptible to COVID-19 than adults - a well-known fact - because it goes against the left-wing agenda to keep schools closed, people out of work, and destroy our economy to influence the election.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

My Administration has been focused on finding treatments for Coronavirus. If you’ve recovered from Coronavirus, donate your plasma today to help SAVE LIVES! Together, we will beat the Virus!

A German study this month found children may actually slow the transmission of COVID-19. Out of more than 2,000 blood samples - including 500 from teachers - only 12 had antibodies. Children may not act as “viral shedders” like adults to transmit the virus https://t.co/lIDKcMzy0r

Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch: “When this inexpensive oral medication [hydroxychloroquine] is given very early in the course of illness, before the virus has had time to multiply beyond control, it has shown to be HIGHLY EFFECTIVE” against COVID-19. https://t.co/imjiGKvYNv

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

Doctors like Richard Bartlett are attacked and silenced by the Left, whose only goal is to destroy @realDonaldTrump - no matter how many lives it costs. We should listen to the DOCTORS WHO ARE SAVING LIVES - not left-wing politicians and the media elite. https://t.co/4eETkJP6Jb

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

I’m looking forward to joining @VP Mike Pence in Baton Rouge today to discuss reopening Louisiana’s schools in a way that keeps both students and teachers healthy while ensuring our young people are able to receive a good education.

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

President Trump has AGAIN offered help to the cities where senseless shootings claim the lives of our most cherished. I consider those leaders who refuse federal assistance - that would most definitely save lives - complicit in those murders. They should be held fully accountable

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

Trump has been tougher on Russia than any other president in recent history: instead of smiles and “reset buttons” like Obama, he delivered crippling sanctions and renewed deterrence.

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

Early and unconfirmed reports of Russian bounties placed on American troops were used by the far-left New York Times in an attempt to embarrass the President. If confirmed, I have no doubt President Trump will respond appropriately, as this behavior should NEVER be tolerated.

A growing backlog of medical appointments due to poor decisions by the VA around community care could threaten health/well-being of veterans. Thanks to @RepAndyBiggsAZ @RepChipRoy @RepGregSteube and @RepAbraham for leading on this.

2/2: Abortions nearly always have a fatal outcome for the baby, and many times it’s the same for the mother. Our legislature took morally justified action to protect women and give them the best chance of survival after botched procedures.

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

1/2: The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Louisiana’s abortion law should have been a clear-cut case for states’ rights. It makes sound medical sense to require anyone performing surgeries - including abortions - to have admitting privileges at a local hospital.

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

2/2: The same thing is happening with “police reform”-we offered a compromise bill, but they killed it. They’ll use anyone as a political football until it’s time to deliver. They are not the party of tolerance, inclusion, or progress - they’re frauds. https://t.co/EFStizgwB6

[Rep. Ralph Abraham @RepAbraham]

1/2: In March of 2018, President Trump offered a deal to extend DACA for so-called Dreamers in exchange for border wall funding - Dems said no. After years of claiming to want to help the Dreamers, Pelosi and Schumer sold them out and we haven’t heard a word about them since.
