Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., reaffirmed the committee's respect for the people on the island before he proceeded and asked Sgambelluri for a life lesson based on her experience that all could learn from. He expounded on the concept of liberty, a word Sgambelluri used in her testimony. "If you go back to our founding documents, you’ll oftentimes see that our founders have used the term 'liberty' as they use the term 'freedom.'
