Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.

Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.
Β 
Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

Truly, we are at a moment when we need organizations β€” the ABA, ALI, law firms, law schools β€” speaking out.

It’s time for the lawyers.
