Donald Trump says that he isn't sure if he needs to uphold the Constitution. It is clear to all of us from his attacks on the courts, the rule of law, our democratic institutions, our civil and legal rights, an open and free press, the dismantling of Federal agencies, and attacks on our communities that, indeed, he does not know what his constitutional duties are.

We will hold them to account, and that is why we are here every day fighting back, pushing back, and defending our democracy and the rights of the American people. ____________________
