@Rachelenish Elenishenish so you can copy and paste. But every word is a lie!!! I know for a fact that Trump sent his boys to those towns strictly because he knew from his stupid mistakes of BLM Peaceful protesters at Lafayette Park for his staged but dangerous teargas and flash bombs used on BLM which it was all video taped by multiple people so Trump could not doctor it up with his lies which he and Barr tried so hard to do. But when one of the priests was teargassed while trying to help some of the BLM by flushing their eyes from the teargas. Then I'm sure everyone remembers Trumps photo op with him holding a Bible that was not his that Ivanka hid in her purse for her daddy. Then his picture trying to show he was a Christian after attacking the peaceful protesters of the BLM. BTW Trump never attended that church, it was just part of his plan trying to prove he is a Christian. I wish I could get a vote of the who believe that Trump is a Christian or a wolf in sheep's clothing.

This man speaks the truth and the truth hurts. It has to hurt if we're needed to do any significant change. A lot of people are stuck in the ways of old thinking, and cannot accept it.

The cops were preventing a trained medic from trying to use life saving measures on the victim... They allowed for him to die and allowed for the murderer to walk around with a rifle because of the color of his skin. I'm a white woman and I can clearly see the white privilege throughout all of this chaos. The police in the capital LET the Trump supporters into the barricades around the capital.

If you want someone to be "blessed" support them directly yourself. Don't expect "god" to do everything for you. Take responsibility for yourself.

Beautiful words. This man is wonderful in his beliefs but I never imagined that I would be saying these words for a Republican. I don't think I've ever seen him before, but I hope he continues to speak out against the racists in his party.

[@liberator6]

This is Bob Menendez, Democratic Senator from New Jersey. It would certainly be nice if one of the Republican Senators made such a great speech. I’m not holding my breath though.
