On Government Reform: Opposition to D.C. statehood is racist

[On statehood for Washington DC]: "I have had enough of my colleagues' racist insinuations that somehow the people of Washington D.C. are incapable or even unworthy of our democracy," Jones, a progressive first-term lawmaker, said. "Fear that in D.C. their white supremacist politics will no longer play," he added. "Fear that soon enough, white supremacist politics won't work anywhere in America. Fear that if they don't rig our democracy, they won't win." Source: The Hill e-zine on 2020 Congressional NY-17 election Apr 23, 2021
