Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, in response to September 11, President Bush and this Congress sent soldiers and Marines, like me, across the ocean to fight against extremism. The terrorists that we fought against used violence to advance their political agendas and viewed lawmakers here as their enemies. QAnon, the proud boys, the boogaloo boys, and other extremist groups think and operate in similar ways. But in this case, Americans do not have the luxury of looking across the ocean at this threat and just hoping and praying that it doesn't come home. Members of these groups are American. Politicians have unforgivably embraced them. Social media platforms legitimize them to an unwitting public. Well, I have had enough. QAnon followers like to say, in their vague, ominous ramblings, that no one can stop what is coming. That is wrong. We can, and we will. Do not let the unforgivable mainstream support for these groups raise doubts about our Nation's resolve in this fight against extremism, that we will stop what is coming, and then we will build a safer, stronger America.”
