The problem is, the Republican Party hasn't done anything to make this country better and I speak as a Republican.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.

The Republican Party does not reach out.

So I'm in the Republican Party for the same reason I was in the Democratic Party: to make sure blacks are included, along with everyone else.

I will not speak with disrespect of the Republican Party. I always speak with respect of the past.

I believe the right wing of the Republican Party is deliberately undermining the democratic underpinnings of this country,
