It shows me somebody who’s not focused on the American people and the job they’re supposed to do.

They're meant to remind us of who we can be, to remind us of what's possible, so we can forge ahead.

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

We designed the center not to be some lifeless mausoleum.
