Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise to express my strong support for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. It is past time for Congress to make systemic changes on issues of racism, police brutality, and racial profiling. We must put an end to unjustified use of force by the police that has resulted in the death of one too many Black and Brown Americans. As a person of faith, I believe the responsibility falls on each and every one of us to ensure that everyone is treated as a child of God. However, the reality is George Floyd was not treated as the child of God that he is. He wasn't treated that way when he said his last words, ``I can't breathe.'' Justice demands that we must put an end to police brutality, racial profiling, white supremacy, and the vicious racism in America. Justice demands that long-suffering Americans be made whole for being denied their rights as Americans. If there is anything that history has taught us, it is that our laws must be equal to all, and we must boldly affirm that Black lives matter.”
