Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021

Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "I don't know why Republicans are trying to misrepresent what we're trying to do here. Nobody is keeping a gun away, but everybody should be able to wait 30 days. I ask the other side, is a wait of 30 days worth the death of nine unsuspecting souls? That alone should be enough."
