"Every single Republican opposed my amendment."

"Mr. Chairman, historical data makes clear that far-right extremists, particularly white supremacists, are a clear and present threat to the homeland security."

"To be clear, Democrats condemn violence in every form, ideology-motivated or otherwise."

"Protecting the homeland ultimately means protecting the people who live here, which is what the brave men and women who serve in law enforcement do every day."
