Political Quotes

“I rise because in the last day, I feel compelled to speak about healing the Nation. Through my years of service, I have been able to serve on a number of committees and alliances in my Congressional district, in my city, in my State, that brought people together. I was chairperson of the Interfaith Ministries. I participated in a campaign of No More Hate. I have interacted with Muslims and Jewish communities alike. Where the Nation is now is not where her values are. The Nation is not taking the attention that is being given by the world because of the rise of white supremacy--Boogaloo Boys, Proud Boys. The Nation needs a healer and a unifier. We, as the American people, are much better when we disagree and acknowledge our disagreement, but we are unified around the values of equality and justice in this Nation. Those of us who want to improve police community relationships are not antipolice and should not be seen as that. Black Lives Matter is not a terrorist group. In fact, the terrorist groups have been designated as white supremacists. Let us unify and come together around the truth. I am ready to do so to heal the Nation. ____________________”
