I urge all of my constituents and all others who may have any confidence in my opinion to please follow the scientists and get vaccinated.

We will get our liberties back to do what we wish when 90 percent of the Members of Congress demonstrate to the American people that we will all be getting vaccinated.
I will tell you one instance of when we can get our liberties back. It is when 90 percent of the members of the U.S. Congress get vaccinated.
Well, I certainly don`t see a future for him in the Congress. I think, at some point in time, he will be out of the Congress. It might be good for his party for him to do it on his own, rather than to take the Congress through some kind of…
I think that the two stories being told in this trial, and one is that there is no anti-policing among black people. They reached out to the police for someone to come to their aid and come to the aid of this man whose life was being…
I don`t think people -- as you know, back behind me is my book 'Blessed Experiences.' And I say in that book that we can never be in a more (INAUDIBLE) than what our experiences allow us to be.
I believe very strongly that Joe Biden made a commitment and he is keeping it. He made it very clear on the night that he was declared the winner, he said to everybody, especially to the black community, you have always had my back, and I…
I am prayerfully hopeful that we will not allow civil and voting rights to be sacrificed on the altar of filibusters.
There are good people who carry out protests all the time, but among that crowd were some bad people, some of whom were police officers and they were being egged on by the chief, the commander in chief, who, himself, said things that…
I have been in conversation with Senator Merkley who is putting that together. I think it`s now called S.1 in the Senate. We`ve sent him H.R.1 and we are in the process of trying to pull together H.R.4.
That`s exactly what I`m saying. And I`ve been around this for so long time. I know what hurt and what`s useful. And we all saw how strategic that person was. And we all saw that a lot of people got purged who should not have been purged?
Nobody believed that he did not steal the election, fair and square, from Stacey Abrams.
We are not going to allow a filibuster to deny basic constitutional rights like voting.
If you want to extend debate on an issue, a legislative issue, then that`s fine. But we`re talking about people`s right to vote. That is what is at question here, having your votes counted, having someone pass a law that says you cannot…
I didn`t march in the streets and spent nights in jail as a young man to find myself fighting the same battles generations later. The Senate must eliminate the 60-vote threshold to end the filibuster on voting rights and civil rights…
I didn`t march in the streets and spent nights in jail as a young man to find myself fighting the same battles generations later. But it appears the minority leader and his Republican colleagues are prepared to retread old ground. And I am…
Today's hearing made clear that economic hardships caused by the Coronavirus pandemic have disproportionately impacted Americans who were already vulnerable.
I am very concerned that these sectors of the economy that have been hit the hardest during this pandemic are those intended to employ workers who are already economically vulnerable, exacerbating economic inequity.
Congress must immediately go to resolve the remaining disparities in the system.
I know how important it is. But for some reason, my Republican colleagues refused to support that $128 million.
I ask the other side: Is a wait of 30 days worth the death of nine unsuspecting souls? That alone ought to instruct them on legislation like this.
