Read Rep. Carter's full remarks, as prepared for delivery, in favor of this resolution:

 

"Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of this resolution denouncing the horrors of socialism, and there are horrors.

 

"Socialism has no place in our country. 

 

"Unfortunately, the so-called 'woke' liberals in New York City don’t seem to understand that socialism is nothing more than mutually assured poverty and recently voted to bring these failed policies to their own once great city. 

 

"While I am saddened that New Yorkers will be willing victims of Zohran Mamdani’s designed-to-fail socialist policies, I have filed legislation ensuring not one dime goes to fund his un-American agenda. 

 

"The rest of the country should not be forced to subsidize one mayor’s destructive actions. 

 

"Today’s resolution builds on those efforts, making it clear that the United States does not stand for, does not support, does not condone a system of government that makes people poorer, less free, and less safe. 

 

"With this resolution, we reiterate our nation’s commitment to remaining a free, a prosperous society. 

 

"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I yield back."
