but it is personal to me because of my back story. 1969 when i was a baby and my parents tried to move into these amazie ining new jersey suburbsy were turned away from houses because of the color of their skin. if it wasn't for activists, many of them white, in their community, they would send white coupled to pose as my parents. the house i grew up in, my father and mother were told it was sold. a white couple found it was for sale. a volunteer lawyer and marty was attacked by the real estate agent, punched him in the face, sicked a dog on my dad. after that, we moved into this community. it was the best public schools in new jersey. 18 years later, i was president of my class, an all american football player on the honor roll and heading off to stanford. i'll tell you, donald trump was a part of that 1960s, '70s housing discrimination. remember, he had a major federal lawsuit against him for that kind of systemic discrimination. and, so, for him to try to whip up this boogie man that people like me are scarey to try to prey upon bigotry and fear, i'm sorry, this is a very old trope that was used by generations past.

my name, it's just curious because when i was a baby, 1969, my parents were refused housing in some of the best suburbs in america, right here in new jersey. and it was activists from that community, white folks and black folks who joined together and said, no, we're better than this. and they put together a sting operation where white couples would follow my couples. the house we grew up in, not only denied housing but on the day of closing, the real estate agent attacked my father's lawyer. and this president is trying to drag up the worst of who we are. the worst of not only his history but american history. and we are more loving nation than that. we'll not fall for his fearmongering or divisiveness and bigotry. >> i can't help but notice that you're african-american and i wonder if the reason you think he named you as opposed to all the other u.s. senators who support this is because you're black. >> well, look, i grew up in the suburbs but i'm so honored that for the last -- i started my career representing newark, new jersey. i'm the fourth black person ever elected to the united states senate and that's probably one of the reasons
