I am prepared to close. I have no additional speakers. I reserve the balance of my time.

The chokehold and other police tactics, such as a knee to the neck, are inherently dangerous and present an unreasonable risk of serious bodily injury or death.

All we simply want is for every single community, regardless of race, to be able to breathe the free air of liberty and justice for all.

Black lives matter, yet month after month, year after year, decade after decade, the list of tragedy continues to grow.

I respect those police officers in every community who are there to protect and serve and those who have fallen in the line of duty, but we cannot tolerate police violence, and we cannot tolerate police brutality. George Floyd was murdered…

There is nothing in the 2021 budget that protects individuals with preexisting conditions. True?

Is the President currently in court through his Department of Justice supporting the repeal of the Affordable Care Act as unconstitutional? Yes or no.
