Over 200 Black men, women, and children massacred for demanding fair pay. The government helped hide it.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

“If Joe Biden federalizes the National Guard, that would be a direct attack on states' rights.
Over the last several years, we've seen Democrats try to take away our Freedoms of religion, assembly, and speech. We can't let them take away our right to defend ourselves, too.

There’s a 2019 law that guarantees it, but Trump is once again trying to break the law.
