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

"We have a hostile administration working actively to roll back decades of progress and more recent progress when it comes to our civil rights."

"Our government, regardless of who occupies the Oval Office, has a moral and legal obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of Africans and its lasting harm on Black communities."
