Those who were in this building, including your predecessor and former Speaker, maintained that this is a country of justice. No one was punished for that. No one lost their jobs because of it.

GEN. RIDER: Yes, Mike, I mean, I – thank you for the question, but you know, I – I – can’t talk about the past. All I can talk about today is the present. And the fact is, you know, seven civilians who were delivering food to people in great need were killed in the airstrike. So I think we can all agree that this is a tragic situation. So let’s leave it at that.
