Political Quotes

“Madam President, last night, we saw the President of the United States, who has spent years maligning America, continue to malign Americans. The President once again whipped up a toxic brew of racism, xenophobia, and nativism, with his crowd chanting ``send her back'' about a duly elected Member of Congress and a U.S. citizen--one of the oldest and ugliest racist attacks against Americans of color. The way the President appeals to the worst instincts of people and what was shouted and chanted at the rally last night without the President's upbraiding them was despicable and eerily familiar to what happens in dictatorships. We all know that the only way President Trump will stop this is for Republicans--his own party--to demand it. The only way President Trump will stop is when Republicans on the other side have the honor, the decency, and the courage to tell him to stop. All we hear is silence and diversions from Leader McConnell. So, America, if you don't like what the President says, if it gets you upset and makes your hairs stand on end, say: This is not the America I know and love. Whatever your political views, call your Senators and tell them to tell President Trump to stop this. Argue the merits, argue the issues, but stop this appeal to the worst instincts--the worst instincts. And our Republican friends are silent. History will show this. This is a moment. There is no John McCain anymore.…”
