Elizabeth Warren's Comment On Trump's Speech

On Tuesday night, Donald Trump addressed a joint session of Congress. This is Elizabeth Warren's response in an e-mail to her supporters:

There’s nothing about Donald Trump’s vision for America that will make America great.

• Racism, sexism, bigotry and hatred have no place in our country. 
• Tearing apart immigrant families and banning Muslims is against everything this country stands for. 
• Ripping health care out of the hands of millions of Americans is irresponsible and cruel. 
• And gutting the rules, firing the cops, and handing over the keys to our economy to the billionaires and giant corporations won’t level the playing field for working families.

But I’ll give him credit: Donald Trump did say something true in his big speech tonight. The earth didshift beneath our feet in 2016. Quiet voices did become a loud chorus. An earthquake did unite us.

Just not the way President Trump thinks it did.

The American people are ready to fight back against Trump’s hateful and dangerous agenda. They’ve shown it at marches and protests and all across the country. They’ve shown it through petitions and phone calls and social media.

Millions of Americans in Massachusetts and across this country are ready to fight back for basic human dignity and respect for every human being. And they’re ready to fight back for economic opportunity – not for billionaires like Donald Trump, but for everyone.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
