my good friend from new york joe crowley, i think javier bassera and maxine waters, i think of one of my mentors someone like emanuel clever who is the former mayor of kansas. but also a christian pastor. and i think it has a lot more weight coming from a christian pastor to speak out against islam phobia than to talk to me or keith. but there are scores who are progressive and forward thinking. sherry out of illinois, my next door neighbor. nancy pelosi who put me on the intelligence committee. she deserves a lot of credit. it was a bold move for her. and i think it speaks to the kind of great leader she is. so there are scores of people who are speaking out against islama phobia. >> and can i mention the other day, steny hoyer and i stayed late on a friday and didn't jump right on the plane to go back to minnesota and stenny and i went to a mosque in maryland and sat down and talked with community members. so this is common and after some of the hate was really pumping in december, andre and i and crowley asked the whole caucus to reach out to the members of the democratic caucus to
