I am very happy to see a ceasefire. And I’m hopeful that it holds.

I hope this center will serve as an affirmation of just how special, how precious our democracy truly is.

This idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic... is a suggestion that you hate your country.
