July 19, 2019
“Some of us have been victims of the stain, the pain, the hurt of racism. In the 50s and during the 60s, segregationists told us to go back when we protested for our rights.

August 30, 2018

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she “can’t guarantee” that a tape doesn’t exist.
