EXCERPT:
MAXWELL: “And going back to Monday, you know, I think folks misheard or misunderstood what those four congresswomen were saying on Monday. Ilhan quoted from our founding documents, she said that we should live up to an ideal that all men are created equal. That was similar to the remarks that President Obama made at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 2015 on the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. My aunt marched in Selma and hid from the Ku Klux Klan at 17 years old. So this is all very visceral for me. When I see that rally, that looks like a Klan rally to me. That looks like Klan rally in 2019. And what are we going to do about that as American citizens to stand up against this hate before, like I said, somebody gets hurt?"
