We all do better when we all do better.

I appreciate the progress of this Administration on diversity. Never enough but far, far, far better than his predecessor.

We want to put a penalty in force that is going to deter future bad acts.

These nominees are trailblazers of their own right.

Our Government works better when it looks like America.

We congratulate the nominees. We thank them for appearing.
