Two years ago, neo-Nazis marched in Charlottesville—and killed a woman named Heather Heyer. This violence has metastasized from Pittsburgh to El Paso; and the violence will continue until we defeat this hatred and the man endorsing these “very fine people” from the Oval Office.

Last night, Amy and I brought the kids to the El Paso Legends Charity Soccer Game to support victims of last Saturday’s shooting. The strength, the joy, the resilience on display last night was another reminder that, in El Paso, we will always meet darkness with light—and love. https://t.co/e6kaRUiUam

Legal. Undocumented. Refugee. Asylum Seeker. The distinctions don't matter to President Trump. If you're an immigrant, he believes you have no place in this country—even though, for 243 years, immigrants have made America the greatest nation the world has ever known. https://t.co/k3eiud9vT2

Two years ago, neo-Nazis marched in Charlottesville—and killed a woman named Heather Heyer. This violence has metastasized from Pittsburgh to El Paso; and the violence will continue until we defeat this hatred and the man endorsing these “very fine people” from the Oval Office.
