Later that evening at 21:27 UTC, Flood acknowledged the death of a servicemember from Nebraska: “Earlier this month, Sgt. First Class Noah Tietjens lost his life while supporting Operation Epic Fury.

At 21:36 UTC, Flood discussed efforts by House Republicans to address housing affordability: “WATCH: @HouseGOP has working to deliver on housing affordability.
