June 10, 2020 Tweet - "Our republic can survive a pandemic. It can survive civil unrest. But ideas and deliberation are our foundation. America cannot be America if civil disagreement becomes a contradiction in terms. Anti-speech silencing tactics are a cancer in a free and open society." Sen. Mitch McConnell

Mitch McConnell

June 1, 2020 Tweet - "I have fought for civil rights and the First Amendment. I completely support Americans' rights to peaceably protest and be heard. Our nation cannot deafen itself to the anger, pain, or frustration of black Americans. Our nation needs to hear this." Sen. Mitch McConnell
June 1, 2020 Tweet - "But here's something that requires no investigation: In no world can arresting a man for an alleged minor infraction involve a police officer putting his knee on the man's neck for nine minutes while he cries out "I can't breathe" and then goes silent." Sen. Mitch McConnell
