I can say with a clear conscience that I have given my entire self to warning the world about the threat of Islam after 9/11.
I meant it when I said โNever forgetโ - and I never did.
I have paid a crushing personal price for refusing to stay silent. Years of abuse, isolation, and relentless fighting- just to make this country hear the truth.
And nowโฆ to see New York- my city - stand in this moment, where someone like Zohran Mamdani could even be electedโฆ
My God, New York, what have you done?
Today is an emotional day.
I gave everything to wake people up - to make sure this never happened again.
How have you forgotten?
Dana: "My oldest son hits me up today and says, 'Dad, don't argue with me, but I wanna tattoo the American flag on my back.' I said, 'You're not tattooing a flag on your back. I'll buy you an American flag shirt in every color for the rest of your life.'"

History wonโt remember the people who said it couldnโt be done.
It will remember the people who did it anyway.

@GuntherEagleman@LeaderJohnThune These Republican clowns are stalling and trying to undermine the Trump Administration's efforts. They have wasted 1-1/2 years, having a majority, and nothing to show for it!
