It is past time for all of us to admit that the Trump Administration has been too accommodating of white supremacy. If it will not act to protect all Americans from hate-based attacks, Congress can and must. My full statement follows #TreeOfLifeSynagogue https://t.co/MY1jsrIGQ6 https://t.co/2qzQAYd6TZ
