"I will not attend one more ‘Moment of Silence’ on the Floor. Our silence does not honor the victims, it mocks them.
“The Moments of Silence in the House have become an abomination. God will ask you, ‘How did you keep my children safe’? Silence."

He also said on his twitter:
“God will ask you why you did not defer to the will of the people as children poured out their blood. And we will answer with silence.”
“If whatever God you worship is in fact a God of love and peace you had better use the Moment of Silence to pray for our souls.”
“If God is an angry God, prepare to know a hell well beyond that lived day to day by the families of the butchered. I will not be silent.”
