Sen. Dick Durbin
Oct. 1, 2020
Tweet - "It's not enough to condemn the President for telling violent white supremacists to "stand by." We have to do something to address this threat. Last week, the House unanimously passed by Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act. Now it's up to @SenateMajLdr to give my bill a vote."
