Mr. Johnson... denouncing the cold-blooded murder of George Floyd by Officer Chauvin.

Why wasn't the decision made on February 26 to expand your testing criteria for anyone displaying Corona-like symptoms?

The American people want the truth. We need the facts. We need accurate information.

My constituents are telling me they can't get tested.

We need facts, we need information, and we need it quickly.

We are supposed to be leading the world. Instead, we are trailing far behind.

OK, the President predicted that there could be a vaccine in a few months. I think you contradicted that today.

We have got two enemies in this crisis, one is the virus and one is the misinformation about the virus.

Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right. No one should face oppression because of their religious beliefs or lack thereof.

I want to thank all of our witnesses for their terrific testimony today.

I also hold a deeply held belief that the objective of our society and of our government should be to create a nation where every child born into this society should be valued and protected and supported and loved whether that child is…

I do want to repudiate this notion that has been floated here today that people of faith in the LGBTQ community are mutually exclusive.

The government would not interfere in anybody's worship, anybody's relationship between himself or herself and God--that that is what the heart of religious liberty is.

The United States continues to be a world leader in guaranteeing the civil rights of all including the LGBT community.

Not only is this dangerous for LGBTQ people, it is also dangerous for people of faith.

So, the argument about whether or not it is the rights of the person who wants the services of a hospital or it is the right of the hospital to deny service, that is a problem that we have seen before, isn't it?

Yes, I certainly believe that the Federal Government needs to count LGBTQ people in the Census, and I believe that they need to do that for a number of reasons.

The administration has rapidly turned 'religious liberty'... into a pretext and excuse for denying LGBTQ citizens the ability to participate equally in all aspects of the economy and society.

No matter how much same-sex marriage violates your religious scruples and beliefs you have no religious liberty right to impose your position through law.

Equal protection means that everyone, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation, must enjoy equal rights under the law.

The Equality Act is sitting on Mitch McConnell's desk. Senator McConnell won't even give us the courtesy of a debate.

I am a strong supporter of religious liberty. But it should not be distorted and twisted into a weapon to enable discrimination.

The right to vote is the basic unit of democracy, and one person-one vote, if we don't have that, I think we as a republic are in serious trouble.

At least up until Shelby County v. Holder, where the Supreme Court, you know, started to exercise strict scrutiny of congressional efforts to enforce the right to vote.

You connect us to a noble and honorable moment in American history, and so we thank you for your hard work and the sacrifices that you have made.
