Political Quotes

On the recordJune 21, 2021
It`s not a vote on any particular policy. It`s not a vote on this bill or that bill. It is a vote on whether the Senate should simply debate the issue about voting rights, the crucial issue of voting rights in this country. Are you afraid to debate it? Do you not have any good arguments? Let`s dispense with this nonsense. There is no real principle behind these policies. They`re not about election integrity. They`re not about voter fraud. These policies have one purpose and one purpose only, making it harder for younger, poorer, nonwhite and typically Democratic voters to have -- to access the ballot.
