"I could not in good conscience sit through this speech and give an audience to someone who operates with lawless disregard for Congress..."

"We find ourselves in a moment of emboldened white supremacy and anti-Black racism, and a weaponized Supreme Court that is actively gutting protections and progress that has been made."
