Congressman Tom McClintock on H. Res. 489 , The Trump Racism Resolution
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/17/2019 08:27 PM
Washington, DC...Congressman McClintock delivered the following remarks yesterday on the House floor. The Congressman voted NO on H. Res. 489. "Mr. Speaker: We have unfortunately entered a period of our history when our political rhetoric has become hyperbolic, while our political views are becoming increasingly irreconcilable. We would all be well advised not to continue down this path. “America, love it or leave it” is not a new sentiment or a radical sentiment and it is certainly not a racist sentiment. It should remind us of commonly held and enduring founding principles that ought to unite us as Americans: respect for the rule of law, and the uniquely American principles of individual liberty, constitutionally limited government and personal responsibility that have produced the happiest, most productive and most powerful nation in the history of the world.
