They are going to have to drop employees. They are going to have to cut staff.

They would have to reduce, with this $15 minimum wage, reduce staff by 20 percent and raise food prices by 25 to 30 percent.

I just think this is the wrong approach. This 'one size fits all' deal as a mandate from Washington is not good.

We cannot have that in our small communities. We need to defend them, not put them in a position where they can go out of business.

Let us in this full Committee and Subcommittee find a way to bring a solution that will heal this nation.

Would you admit to the fact that from the perspective of hatefulness and actions that African Americans, Black Americans have experienced violence throughout the 20th century?

if we had expanded the language of this title of this hearing, we might have said the rise of domestic terrorism in America that violently caused deaths of many people.

I think one of the first things and one of the best things that can be done is for our country to really take an inward look at where we are and how we got there.

How should this Committee respond to finding a way, besides the cultural changes of attitude, harmonious coming together, recognizing the unity of this nation?

That is terror. That is now the modern terminology of alt-right.

Isn't it key that we understand Antifa's ideology, but that out of White racism and White extremists come death and violence in many instances?

75 percent of all murders from domestic terrorism have been the result of right-wing extremists.

I would call on my colleagues to repudiate that hate and to disinvite Stephen Miller, Mark Morgan, Tom Homan, and others who perpetuate that hate.

I am concerned that White supremacists and other violent far-right extremist groups are using human trafficking disinformation to recruit their new Members

if hundreds of thousands of people weren't out protesting police abuse and the murder of George Floyd, we would have never been able to pass the Justice in Policing Act

Given this history, it is not a leap to recognize the need for scrutiny of FBI activities in Black and African American communities.

Let me stipulate for the record that every person in this room, but at least all the Democrats, abhor violence...

Congress must pass H.R. 40 and reckon and account for our history. Reparations are owed, transformation is required.
