Guam Congressman Addresses Speaker Selection and Key Issues at Speaker of the House Hearings

Amidst the ongoing Speaker of the House hearings at the Longworth Building, we briefly talked with Guam Congressman James Moylan, delving into several significant topics, including releasing January 6th political prisoners, Ukraine funding, and First Amendment rights.

When asked if he would call upon the next House Speaker to release the January 6th political prisoners, Congressman Moylan indicated that, at this point, his primary focus is on the selection of the House Speaker, emphasizing that this should be the immediate priority.

The conversation then shifted to the issue of funding for Ukraine and whether the next Speaker would be called upon to address it. Moylan acknowledged this is a matter under consideration but stressed the necessity of electing a Speaker first to handle these issues effectively.

The interview took a more solemn tone as Congressman Moylan was asked about the state of First Amendment rights and the situation at the federal courthouse, where protests seemingly resulted in severe prison sentences. He emphasized the importance of exercising free speech while adhering to the law.

Despite the pressing concerns raised, some questions remained unanswered, leaving room for further exploration as the Speaker of the House hearings unfold. The selection of the next Speaker, the fate of political prisoners, and the issue of Ukraine funding will be integral to the discussions within the Longworth Building.
