Political Quotes

“2 years ago, a gunman drove to a Black neighborhood with an assault rifle in his hand and hate in his heart, opening fire and killing 10 people in Buffalo, New York. He was radicalized by the great replacement theory, a white supremacist, racist, anti-Semitic conspiracy. We are still mourning 10 souls lost to this senseless violence. The only way to move forward is to acknowledge that what is killing us in droves is hatred and continued white supremacy. Congress cannot continue to ignore these hateful and discriminatory ideologies that are being promoted by far-right MAGA extremists. I introduced a resolution to condemn the great replacement theory, racism, anti-Semitism, hatred, and bigotry in all its forms. We must stand up together and say clearly that white supremacy is an existential threat. We also need reparations for the Black community in Buffalo and around the country, like food justice for community members and free mental health to support and address community trauma. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in condemning the great replacement theory, repairing the harms of white supremacy, and fighting to root out hatred once and for all. ____________________”
