Barbara Jordan is one [of the political heroes]. Her 1976 speech in New York inspired me to get into politics.

I think the president [Barack Obama] is right to call for a full investigation. Every federal agency involved should be - should put everything on the table, and the Democratic Party will put everything on the table.

Donald Trump has not held an event in the black community. He has not gone to a black church, as Hillary Clinton has done.

Today, unfortunately, the right to vote seems to have become a partisan issue. Democrats seek to guarantee and expand voting rights. Republicans try to undermine and suppress voting rights.

We cannot excuse the fact that he [Donald Trump] is running for president. He's a frontrunner.

A campaign is about defining who you are - your vision and your opponent's vision.

Trying to gin up political violence for its electoral utility is - I think inarguably what we're seeing here. And I know that the Donald Trump campaign will not say that is what they're doing.
