People that are in organizations that are absolutely white supremacy organizations should get our tax dollars.

because they decided to tear apart or attempt to tear apart our democracy.

They are being rewarded.

These are people that went through our criminal justice system.

When people on that side of the aisle claim that they love law and order, they went through it.

They either entered pleas of guilty or they were found guilty.

And this president on day one, his priority was not around racism.

It was around doing things like letting them go and now putting money in their pockets.

We haven't had one hearing on white supremacy.

Yet when we look at things like the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, the nine worshipers who were murdered at the Mother Emanuel AME Church, the 23 people murdered in 2019 during a shooting

at Walmart in El Paso that 10 people murdered during the 2022 shooting at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York.

All of these were murdered by white supremacists who were empowered by the Republican Party's racist rhetoric and policies.

This is the same party that wants to drag us back to the Jim Crow era.

Some say that there aren't poll taxes, and I guess it's because they're not listing the amount of money.

But when you tell somebody that they've got to go and pay for something, say, like a passport that costs over $100 in order to be able to vote, that looks like a poll tax to me.

Some of y'all need to read up on your history books, the very same ones that the Republicans have decided that people should not hear about because you don't want real history taught in our schools because you're afraid that it's going to hurt people's feelings to know that their ancestors

were so savage that they would enslave black folk.

You don't want them to understand why the 14th Amendment mattered then and it matters today.

You don't want them to understand that when they draw these racist lines and tell black folk that they shouldn't have representation in this country, that it is against the Constitution.

You want them to be ignorant so that they can sit up here and be your token for your mission.
