"I simply told them what a pleasure it was to come and be able to visit them here and how much I regretted any unpleasantness that they may have had, because there shouldn't be any place in our country..."

"I thought maybe we might just call attention to how reprehensible something of this kind is."

"No, it's just characteristic still of some people, and I think they're a minority."

"There is magic in the free marketplace, and it works."
