In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I believe that Democrats need to be very clear about tackling corruption. This has been the most corrupt administration in American history. And to me, the most glaring thing that's happening as it pertains to affordability is that on one hand, you have Donald Trump and his family making billions of dollars, building a $600 million ballroom at the White House, half of which is being funded by taxpayer dollars.”
“Well, first of all, there are somewhere around 60,000 people being held in detention centers across the country. There are two major private prison companies, CoreCivic and GEO Group, that are making record profits based off of all of this.”
“My own dad came here as a student all these years ago, and in one generation, his daughter became a congresswoman.”
“I've quite literally had family members who were beheaded by this brutal, brutal government. My own grandfather was imprisoned back right after the Revolution. So, that is the sentiment of the majority of Iranians -- that they want to see this regime fall and end.”
“Look, I will say I want to see an end to this war. I was against the war from the very beginning for a number of reasons. From the president, we heard early days, you know, back in January, when there were major massacres happening in Iran and the regime there that has a horrific human rights track record was killing protesters. And the president would tweet things like "Help is on the way for Iranians," and built a lot of hope for Iranian people that there was some outside savior coming to help.”
