Politician
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "I look at this legislation & I see it being targeted. One report yesterday said this program of doing more for Black farmers than anything since the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This legislation targets children who need to get back in school. That's targeting to me."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 10, 2021
Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "I don't know why Republicans are trying to misrepresent what we're trying to do here. Nobody is keeping a gun away, but everybody should be able to wait 30 days. I ask the other side, is a wait of 30 days worth the death of nine unsuspecting souls? That alone should be enough."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 9, 2021
Tweet - "I think it is very clear, if we can make an exception to the filibuster rules for budgets, we ought to be able to make it for any civil or voting right that exists. If the President wants to keep the filibuster, fine, but let's do away w/ it for civil rights and voting rights."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 9, 2021
The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed
Rep. Ralph Norman
March 7, 2021

March 1, 2021

Rep. Jim Clyburn
Feb. 27, 2021
Tweet - "Two years ago, the House passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. For two years McConnell refused to allow a vote on it. Gun reform is common sense. Democrats will fight to get it signed into law."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Feb. 25, 2021

Tweet - "This pandemic has amplified racial inequities that have long existed in this nation. We've witnessed a disproportionate rate of infection, hospitalization, & death among minorities yet they are receiving fewer vaccinations. #VaccineEquity is essential to defeating this virus."
