Barbara Lee Speaks for Me
Rep. Barbara Lee has long been an outspoken critic of war and intolerance so it was no surprise that she would be pushing for a Congressional resolution to censure Donald Trump following his recent outbursts of racist bile directed at four members of Congress who happen to be women of color.
Rep. Lee had a further message for Trump:
The voices of women of color have been ignored for far too long — but not anymore. We have the most diverse Congress in our nation’s history and I won’t let Trump diminish the accomplishments of women of color with the vile, disgusting, and racist things that come out of his mouth.
Or in this case, his thumbs. . . .
The Squad, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley, had the guts to fight back against Trump and now they’re faced with his racist comments suggesting they go back to their own broken countries.
All of my sisters in Congress are American. They swore an oath to protect the United States, and by holding Trump accountable, that’s exactly what they’re doing.
