It really is. And I think that a lot of Americans get it at their core, that we were -- have been a country where by force of law, whether you are gay or black or a woman, the laws of this country were against you and that building there…
But I do believe that many of my Republican colleagues should they go against what they said four years ago, they will not only do damage to their own sense of honor, but I think they're going to do damage -- further damage to the…
This has been an era where I've had a difficult time struggling with the degree to which Donald Trump's presidency has been a moral violation after moral violation.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg lived to make that a moral institution based on the sacrosanct ideals of this nation, ideals of human rights and civil rights.
He will incite them in every way possible to not accept that democratic tradition, yet another one of our traditions and our norms that he threatens, and he threatens in a way that really undermines the very foundations of our democracy.
If I don't win, the election was rigged, which means that he is now, even if you loses, telling us all that he will break with a tradition that goes back to George Washington in which we have the graceful transfer of power.
He is the one that is the instigator, the catalytic agent that is driving our country to deeper divides, deeper hate, deeper division.
There's so many aspects of that Republican Convention that were con, were serious con.
It's time for us to show the depths of our decency, the quality of our mercy. We are better than this as a nation.

What we have in Kamala Harris irrespective of race and gender, is one of the most qualified people ever to be named a vice presidential candidate nominee.
We -- I think all thinking people in America understand that the problems with voting by mail have nothing, zero from a percentage perspective to do with fraud, and a whole lot to do with the fact that a whole bunch of people are planning…
I really do think that is something as basic as that. Let me find a black person that I could try to scare folks from the suburbs. But it's very personal to me because of my backstory.
His fear-mongering is bigotry, sexism, racism, and won't work. But the real concerns that Americans have about their safety and well-being, the real concerns and fears we have that he's not addressing will be one of the many reasons he…
In many ways, I think what the Biden-Harris team are offering America is a deep contrast about the -- about the choice we have, which will ultimately be a defining characteristic of the very culture of our country.
I live in a neighborhood where black women have been carrying this neighborhood on their shoulders and so much of our country.
But, for me, it's necessary but not sufficient, because I want us to go -- beating Donald Trump gets us out of a valley. It does not get us to the mountaintop.
This is a woman that, every step of her career -- I mean, how many Howard graduates do you know that this country ever saw their value, and saw their greatness in the way that this moment is a real breakthrough?
