Tonight, the world grieves for the great John Lewis. In my 1st yr in the Senate, I had the privilege of traveling w/ John & much of the Congressional Black Caucus to Nelson Mandela’s funeral. The entire trip to Johannesburg, John regaled us w/ stories of being alongside Dr. King. Image
2/x One of the original Freedom Riders, John was a young man at the dawn of the Civil Rights movement & he survived a brutal beating on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.

At age 23, he was a keynote speaker at the March on Washington, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
3/x To say he was an icon, to say he was a hero, understates it. He had a quiet grace, a passion for justice & an indomitable courage that helped transform this Nation.

I am blessed & humbled to have known John & to have heard his deep wisdom firsthand.
4/x Heidi & I are lifting up in prayer his family, his loved ones & all of America as we mourn the loss of a good and great man. His legacy will endure on, as we continue to strive for Justice for All. #RIPJohnLewis

1/x By threatening to not hold a trial for Mayorkas's impeachment, Chuck Schumer is breaking Senate precedent.

There have been 21 impeachments sent to the Senate. The Senate held a full trial for 17 of these impeachments.
2/x Of the impeachments that did not receive a trial, two were mooted because the person resigned, one was dismissed for jurisdictional grounds, and the House withdrew the impeachment in the final one.

None of these exceptions apply to Mayorkas, so the trial should proceed.
3/x The left is lying and arguing that Chuck Schumer's egregious threat does not break precedent. Here are the facts showing why that is not true:

1/x This is a lie. Brazen and unambiguous.

Here's Joe Biden endorsing the Women’s Health Protection Act, legislation that would have codified abortion on demand up until birth in all 50 states.

1/x Joe Biden and Biden administration officials are pathologically obsessed with undermining Israel. Since day one of their administration, they have launched campaigns against our Israeli allies that are granular, whole of government, and done in secret.
2/x This new boycott of Israeli Jews is yet another example. The State Department is telling the entire U.S. government not to cooperate with Jews in Judea and Samaria. And, of course, it was sent to Congress in secret and only revealed because reporters found out.
3/x The Biden administration defends funding scientific research in Wuhan with the Chinese Communist Party, but they’re discriminating against and banning cooperation with Jews based on where they live.

1/x Sure.

- First, the Dem party founded the KKK.

- Then the Dem party wrote Jim Crow laws.

- Then the Dem party filibustered the Civil Rights Act.
2/x - Today, the Dem part filibusters school choice—trapping millions of Black kids in failing schools.

- Today, the Dem party pushes abolishing the police, which results in many more Black lives murdered.

- Today, every Dem senator voted against my bill to stop DC from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/x - The Republican Party was founded to oppose slavery.

- Our first Republican President was Abraham Lincoln, who won the Civil War and ended slavery.

- It was Republicans who voted for the civil Rights Act in a much higher percentage than racist Dems.

Our economy is now on the edge of what would be a fiscal catastrophe all because of the Biden administration’s ineptitude.

After doing next to nothing to avoid a rail strike, President Biden assured the American people that this matter was settled. That was a brazen lie. 1/x
Now, this admin expects Congress to step into the dispute & pick winners & losers.

As a matter of principle, I don’t support gov intervention to decide terms of employment. We shld extend the cooling-off period, as Congress has done b4, & send both parties back to the table. 2/x
For that reason, I was proud to cosponsor Senator Sullivan’s amendment to extend the cooling-off period and allow the negotiations to continue in order to reach a resolution that addresses the needs of both sides. 3/x

Stories like this one are why Americans don’t trust the corrupt media.

If the DMN had any credibility, they would have contacted my office prior to printing this disinformation.

DMN would have learned that the Texas Bar DISMISSED this bogus complaint back in June! 1/x ImageImageImage
Texas Bar 'examined the Grievance and determined that the information alleged does not demonstrate Professional Misconduct or a Disability. Pursuant to the Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure, this matter has therefore been classified as an Inquiry and has been dismissed.' 2/x
Translation: The Texas Bar found the complaint to be baseless. 3/x
