We must all condemn the disgusting rhetoric spewed by
@RepClayHiggins
. There is no place for hate, and further fueling lies about our Haitian community is unacceptable and needs to stop. Even though his social media posting was deleted, the damage has already been done.
Rep. Clay Higgins' vile & hateful remarks abt Haitians are unacceptable. Today, it is Haitians, but who will it be tomorrow?
We stand against hate in all its forms. Hate has no place in the House of Representatives or anywhere in America.
Proud to have arranged for the

@BAPS
Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Melville was targeted by vandals. There is no place for hate & intolerance in our community. I stand with the Hindu community as they pray for peace & unity. Those responsible for these crimes must be held accountable.
Deeply saddened by the desecration of our BAPS Mandir in Melville, NY, an act aimed at inciting hatred against Hindus. Today, local, state & federal leaders gathered to promote peace, respect & unity. Guided by our faith, we stand united against hate with compassion & solidarity.
It was great to catch up with
