I'm asking you to please stop using racist terms like Kung Flu or Wuhan virus other ethnic identifiers in describing this virus.
I have got a bill that I introduced that posthumously awarded Congressional Gold Medal to Li Wenliang for coming out and exposing what the Chinese Communist Government has done to hide the virus.
The pandemic did exacerbate latent anti-Asian prejudices that have a long and ugly history in America.
Anti-Asian hate did not begin with the COVID-19 pandemic and will not end when the pandemic is over.
Asian Americans have now experienced a surge in hate crimes, hate incidents, and discrimination since the start of the pandemic.
When former President Donald Trump uses racist dog whistles that are, clearly, interpreted as an effort to blame one community...
I want to make clear that all Asian Americans who are understandably feeling hurt and afraid right now and wondering whether anyone else in America cares, that Congress sees you, we stand with you, and we will do everything in our power to…
Find those who perpetrated what happened in Atlanta. Find those who engage in hate of all forms and punish the absolute hell out of them, but don't go around policing thought.
if we keep doing the same thing over and over again, and expect a different result, that does come close to the definition of insanity.
I support Chair Nadler's efforts to legalize marijuana. I believe that cannabis is no more dangerous than alcohol.
If Republicans wanted to unify our country and reduce the risk of further political violence, all they have to say is one simple, truthful sentence: The election was not stolen.
They`re trying to avoid the conduct of the domestic terrorists that stormed the Capitol on January 6, as well as other domestic terror incidents.
It`s not just that they fear their former president. It`s that they fear their base.
I want to commend Ranking Member Issa for agreeing that we need to increase the number of judges at the appellate and district court level.
They think he is their lord. Groups that support him, they actually refer to him as god-emperor of the United States.
I condemn all political violence. I am pleased that my Republican colleagues can say that same sentence, but their words ring hollow if they can't say this following simple, truthful statement, the election was not stolen.
The issue today isn't really about how lower courts or appellate courts happen to look at injunctions and how the Supreme Court looks at injunctions.
I think we can get to the bottom of all of these facts. And they`re also going to find, by the way, that Donald Trump incited an insurrection.
I think it`d be hard to try to convince the American people that they should vote for him one more time, even though he incited a violent attack on our nation`s Capitol.
What was remarkable about Senator McConnell`s speech was not only that he sounded like a House impeachment manager for the first half and then contorted himself to explain why he voted to acquit.
In most contexts, 57 to 43 is a blowout. This was not close. An overwhelming majority of both the House and the Senate concluded that Donald Trump incited an insurrection.
We showed Donald Trump has incited an insurrection, they just hung their vote on a willful misreading of their constitution.
He does not say the one sentence that matters. He does not say the one sentence that would stop future political violence, the election was not stolen.
But it doesn`t take a prosecutor to understand that President Trump was not showing remorse. He was showing defiance. You know, I`m not afraid of Donald Trump running again in four years. I`m afraid he`s going to run again and lose…
