Ritchie Torres: I’m Drafting a Resolution that Would Condemn Andy Ogles for ‘Bigotry’ Against Jeffries, Mamdani

EXCERPT:

TORRES: “But I have a deeply felt obligation to speak out against hate, whether it’s anti-Jewish bigotry or anti-Muslim bigotry. And as an example, I’m in the process of drafting a resolution that would condemn Andy Ogles for not only engaging in racist rhetoric about Leader Jeffries, but also in calling upon the attorney general to deport a Muslim American Democratic nominee simply because he’s Muslim American. Like, that kind of bigotry has no place in the United States of America. America is and should be a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious democracy whose creed is 'E pluribus unum.' That’s what we should be celebrating on Independence Day."

PSAKI: "So we’ll see that Andy Ogles resolution when you get back?"

TORRES: "In the day — I’m making news here."

PSAKI: "All right. Well, there we go. Watch out, Andy Ogles. It’s coming."
