This email is also regarding a child who suffered abuse from a grown man.

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers.
Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this.
Where is the censure and condemnation?
