As long as there are people held in suppression, there will always be a movement for civil rights. However, in any movement there will be a few, sometimes only one, that rises head and shoulders above all others. And so it was with my good friend, John Robert Lewis. https://t.co/ZpSqV6jKiB — PolitiTweet.org

This kind of activity is the activity of a police state. This president and attorney general seem determined to disregard the Constitution to impose authoritarian tactics in local communities. These actions pose a fundamental threat to our democracy. https://t.co/IZxD22Dvk0 — PolitiTweet.org

When people say these are symbols of heritage & history, not hate, I say to them that hate is a heritage and hate lies in our history. We ought not commemorate that hatred with statues in places of honor. That history can be remembered where it belongs, in museums & textbooks. https://t.co/sPKrk71e4A — PolitiTweet.org

Our nation’s public lands, national parks, and great outdoors are a huge part of what makes this country great. The Great American Outdoors Act delivers long-promised funding and ensures that all Americans can enjoy our nation’s beautiful public spaces. — PolitiTweet.org

It's peach day in the Capitol! @RepCunningham and I wanted to make sure all of our colleagues got a taste of authentic South Carolina peaches. Georgia may be called the peach state, but South Carolina has the best peaches. https://t.co/voH93qhSeK — PolitiTweet.org

I'm not for destroying any statue. I'm here to ask my colleagues to very properly and lawfully return these people to their proper place. Put them where they can be studied, where people will know exactly who and what they were. But do not honor them and do not glorify them. https://t.co/APDa9AyRqb — PolitiTweet.org

The Constitution states the Census must count ALL PEOPLE. The President's memo seeking to exclude undocumented immigrants violates that directive. This is another manifestation of his disdain for our democracy & for our strength as a nation of immigrants. It must not stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of the bipartisan effort shown in the House today to pass the National Defense Authorization Act for 2021. This bill: ✅ Authorizes a 3% pay raise for our troops ✅ Strengthens our defense against future pandemics ✅ And removes names of Confederates from military bases — PolitiTweet.org

I have said it before, and I will say it again: lack of reliable internet access will continue to deepen already existing inequities. The House has passed legislation to close the #HomeworkGap , now it’s the Senate's turn. https://t.co/B55IQ0oN01 — PolitiTweet.org

John was both a minister & a living example, who demonstrated what it means to follow the moral compass directed by one’s faith. My favorite Old Testament scripture is Micah 6:8, “do justly, be merciful and walk humbly.” It must have been John’s as well. https://t.co/N2QHx7a6WZ — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with the @nytimes editorial board. High-speed internet must be accessible and affordable for all Americans. The House has passed legislation that would achieve this; now the Senate must act. https://t.co/IDSdPZP8sQ — PolitiTweet.org

James E. Clyburn @RepJamesClyburn

I think that Trump and the senate leadership, Mitch McConnell, if they truly celebrate the heroism of John Lewis, then let's go to work and pass the Voting Rights Act. Words may be powerful, but deeds are lasting. - @CNNSotu https://t.co/Vp1Rz9AIEN — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell & the President can demonstrate the real respect for the life & legacy of John Lewis by passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act of 2020 in the Senate & have the President sign it. Let's have our election this year in honor of John Robert Lewis.- @MeetThePress https://t.co/aAhuVd2CCo — PolitiTweet.org
