Team,
A year ago today, I delivered the Spanish language response to President Trump’s State of the Union address — but our work holding Trump accountable is not over.
Congresswoman Veronica Escobar — an outspoken critic of President Trump and one of the first two Latina members of Congress elected from Texas — will be delivering the Spanish language response tonight.
As I said during my speech last year, the wall on the border is not the only wall President Trump is trying to build.
He’s putting a wall between you and your doctor. A wall between you and the voting booth. And a wall between parents and their children.
Debemos derribar estos muros — we must tear down these walls. In California. In Texas. Across this nation.
Team, are you in? 2020 is here and we can’t sit on the sidelines. I’m not, Rep. Escobar isn’t, and I know neither are you.
Gracias por luchar junto conmigo — thank you for fighting alongside me,
Xavier
