{{Quotebox|I can show them and reveal where the true bigotry is. You know, they brag about being a party of openness and a [[big tent]], but not so for independent thinking. [[Black]] men and women with [[conservative]] leanings. We're not wanted. But you know what? Ironically, when we have [[white]] Democrats with conservative leanings, they're not called the same like I'm called, an outcast, an embarrassment to the party, I need to leave. When Congressman Jim Marshall and John Barrow, they get a free pass. But on [[African American]] to think independently, that's the most terrifying thought for any [[liberal]] right now.

For people like me to be independent thinkers, you know one final thing on that, too, when white Democrats vote [[Republican]], their elevated as [[Reagan Democrats]]. It's a good thing. But when African Americans do that and exercise their free thinking, all of a sudden 'you don't belong in the party, your an embarrassment, you don't represent our values,' and that's unfortunate. So I want to continue to pull that sheet off of them and exposed them....

We have to support [[law enforcement]] officers, those who who are the bad apples, we know what to do with them. Secondly, when you started talking about tearing down monuments, if you tear down a monument of [[Thomas Jefferson]] today, somebody's gonna want to tear down the monument of [[Martin Luther King]] tomorrow....We give literally millions of dollars to universities and nonprofit groups to go out on, dig, dig and dig and pull up symbols and statues of the past so we can learn about it. But here we are in 2020 with tearing them down. What are kids gonna know about come 2030 when those statues are gone?
