UNITY FOR ALL AMERICANS
(Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, we have gone through some very
difficult times, and I want to call the roll: Tree of Life, Robert
Gregory Bowers; Mother Emanuel Church, Dylann Roof; Christchurch,
Brenton Harrison Tarrant; just recently, in San Diego, John Earnest;
and recently arrested, Mark Steven Domingo.
First of all, I want to thank the FBI and its investigation for
stopping Mark Steven Domingo.
I challenge all of us, as colleagues, to begin the debate and
discussion on hate, White nationalism, and Nazism, for it is not
something that we can allow to seed and grow. We can't allow someone
who wants to attack a White nationalist group that is meeting because
of hatred, nor can we allow someone to gun people down in their
synagogues or mosques or churches.
America is better than this, and we as Members of Congress need to
begin to discuss race, discrimination, Nazism, White nationalism,
sexism. We need to discuss it in a way that is even more than
legislation.
So I call upon the Nation, I call upon this President to stand up and
announce to America that enough is enough and that he stands for the
unity of all of us.
