“We should not be offered and certainly not accept a false choice. Like when we're talking about gun violence, we need to deal with that.”
“So as an administration, we're saying for example, the firearms dealers that those who are violating the law, there needs to be a consequence for that.”
“On the issue of policing, we need accountability. And we are, and I was actually one of the original authors of the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act and I feel very strongly that needs to be passed.”

The Vice President on vaccine hesitancy: “One in three Black people in America know somebody who has died from this disease. And here's the other point that I will make, virtually everyone who is in a hospital right now because of COVID-19 is unvaccinated.”
