Political Quotes

“it has certainly been an eventful several days. Of course, across the country, people are still shoveling out roads and sidewalks from the dramatic snowfall we had, and, of course, many of us have struggled to get back to work because of disrupted flights. Some parts of Texas, believe it or not, had as much as 10 inches of snow. I know that is not a big deal in the great State of Nebraska, but it is a big deal in Texas because Texans cannot drive on the snow and ice. Anybody who has seen some of the videos of people trying to drive on the ice in Texas knows we are not used to that. But a severe snowstorm was not the only thing to hit our country over the last weekend. As we all know too well, an ICU nurse for the VA named Alex Pretti was killed in an interaction with Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. We are still learning more about what transpired that day, but, unfortunately, what we see too often when tragic events like this occur is that people jump to conclusions early without knowing all the facts. Regardless of what we don't yet know, what we do know is that it is always a tragedy when a human life has ended. I applaud President Trump for taking the steps to review this and for sending Tom Homan to Minneapolis to try to deescalate and restore law and order in that State.”
