Nobody is preventing anybody from celebrating it.

He was a Marxist and he did beat up and physically abuse the women who were his followers.

What we can do is we can say before it's presented as some special holiday, before the school children of America, we point out the background of the holiday and why it was created.

I think that most news anchor types, before they did a nice feel-good story about Kwanzaa, presented what the founder was really about it wouldn't get off the ground in the first place.

I think the underlying problem here is not enough TV types when they talk about Kwanzaa, talk about the horrible racist violent past of its founder.

You've got to remember, Ron Karenga... was a black separatist who felt the Black Panthers didn't dislike white people enough.

The problem I have is when they talk about this holiday without getting its history or given the limited amount of time we have in our public schools when they decide to use that time to promote Kwanzaa and present it as a holiday that…

Accepting the Medicaid expansion is a good deal for States because it is a boon to the States' uninsured and its taxpayers.

Those 200,000 people in Wisconsin deserve the certainty of knowing that quality and affordable care will be there for them.

I believe it is crucially important that our State expand the coverage.
