When asked his opinion of Lincoln's performance, former slave and abolitionist Frederick Douglass replied: It was a sacred effort. Let me be the first to say this is a sacred effort, Senator Booker, and I am proud to stand alongside you. So, Senator Booker, the question that my constituents and I have for you is: Can the farmers and ranchers of America afford to pay for another Trump tax scam with all this nonsense that is going on? It is a question I get when I am at church--I will say not during church but after church is OK--or at the grocery store. But when I visit with folks back home, this is what they are asking me.
