“We all need to talk. [против таких действий]. Political violence has no place in America. We must protect the right to vote in America, not suppress this fundamental right. “We must defend the rule of law and restore confidence in our democratic institutions,” he said.

He also believes that US citizens are not “external observers of history”.
