On the recordJanuary 16, 2018
As an American, I certainly celebrate religious freedom and acknowledge the importance of freedom of religion and speech and the ability to have access to a free press. Sadly, I rise to take issue with the comments said by the Commander in Chief, well documented by Senator Durbin and the Senator from South Carolina, Lindsey Graham, who delicately tried to instruct the Commander in Chief of the ugliness of his words. I will not say them on the floor, and I have not said the complete word, but over this weekend of the beloved community of Dr. Martin Luther King, everywhere I went, people were appalled. I believe that it is crucial that we pass the Dream Act and that we speak to the racism of this President through 1973, 1980, 1988, and 1989. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Mast). Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward the President. ____________________
