On the recordJanuary 13, 2021
In Michigan's 13th, we proudly speak truth to power, even in the face of a racist in chief. Those who incited an attack on the people's House do not get to talk about healing and unity. They have torn this country apart. They have stoked the fire and then handed the gasoline to Donald Trump. Dr. King once said: ``True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.'' Today, we must embody those words, and we must understand that peace must be centered in truth and action. We cannot, Madam Speaker, sit idly by after a violent attempted coup and allow lies and hate to continue. Today, we stand up for our constituents, who continue to be harmed by Donald Trump.
