Rep. Jan Schakowsky
July 21, 2020

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "President Trump is once again using xenophobic language to try and distract from his horrendous response to #COVID19. 140,000+ Americans have died and tens of millions are unemployed--no amount of race baiting from the President is going to make us forget that."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "I join @GovPritzker & @chicagosmayor in urging the Trump Admin. to refrain from taking any action in Chicago that resembles what occurred in Portland. Sending in secret police with unmarked vehicles to snatch people off the streets is not only unacceptable, it's un-American."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "If @realDonaldTrump actually wants to help reduce violence in American communities, he wouldn't be sending in secret police with unmarked vehicles to snatch people off the street. That will only undermine local efforts & exacerbate existing tensions."

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "Senator McConnell's "red line" on liability immunity for businesses will not make America safer. It would make the current situation even worse. Our top priority must be protecting workers and families from #COVID19--not protecting businesses from being held accountable."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 21, 2020
Tweet - "Spoke with @MayorBowser this morning about the status of #COVID19 in our nation's capital, the #BlackLivesMatter demonstrations here in DC, & and my support for #DCstatehood to give 700,000+ Washingtonians the full representation they deserve."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, ...

Sen. Dick Durbin
July 20, 2020
Tweet - "Contrary to what the President seems to believe, symbols of hate have no place on our nation's military installations. This is a good--and long overdue--decision by the Pentagon."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 20, 2020
Tweet - "There is no place for violence or vandalism in the exercise of any constitutional right. The use of force against peaceful protestors or members of law enforcement in the reasonable exercise of their responsibilities is unacceptable."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
July 20, 2020
