And, to be here at a time of historic importance to the screw. Because you have just called for the impeachment of donald trump. I read the mullah report the day it came out.

I read it, i knew what it said. And, i concluded first, that this is a man who has broken the law, and he should be impeached. And i said so on that very day. I come to you at a moment of great crisis in this country. A crisis that it times, when america is working better and better and better and better. For a thinner and thinner slice. While it leaves everyone else behind. The central question of my lifes work has been, what is happening to working families in america . Why is the road getting so much rockier and so much steeper . In for families of color, even rockier and even steeper . And, the answer is, it is no accident. Race
