Political Quotes

“Leader Hoyer expressed, I think, everybody's feelings about John Lewis. I lost a hero and a friend, a cohort in good trouble, and a colleague. It is said, when you come to the House, you sometimes walk with giants, rarely do you get to walk with a saint. John Lewis was a saint. He was heavenly. He embodied the spirit of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. He exhibited that in his work, his life, his votes, his advice to his colleagues. There is no good time to die, but John Lewis lit a fire that has turned into a tremendous blaze, and I am fortunate that I have been able to feel the warmth and share it with him. ____________________”
