WASHINGTON - Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1) issued the following statement after attending the inauguration of President Joe Biden:
“As leaders, our commitment each and every day should be to work towards unity and pursue a better course for our nation. Oftentimes, we will not agree on exactly how to best move America forward, but how we debate and disagree is especially critical. Respectful disagreement is a protected and treasured American value, and there will be many vibrant debates to be had over the next four years. Let us work towards ensuring they will always remain in the spirit that serves the betterment of our great country.
“President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris took a sacred oath today to our Constitution and our country as part of today’s peaceful transition of power in a ceremony that has long been familiar to and celebrated by freedom-loving Americans.
“The months and years ahead are filled with great challenges and great opportunities for a country that truly does need less violence in our streets, more positivity in our hearts, and more understanding among our people.”
