On the recordJanuary 15, 2019
I rise on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday to urge passage of H. Res. 41 and to reject white nationalism and supremacy in all its forms. I applaud both sides for taking up this resolution in support of rejecting white nationalism. But today, Madam Speaker, I ask one question: Where does President Trump stand on this resolution? Will President Trump do as we are doing and reject white supremacy in all its forms? So far, we have heard nothing but silence. I ask him to act and do the same: reject white supremacy and white nationalism, today.
