Unemployment relief from The CARES Act - a popular and bipartisan solution - was a key lifeline not just for our families but also for small businesses.

They didn't have a lot, but my grandparents taught me the important stuff: that hard work and character, matter. When I got my acceptance (and scholarship) to college, it felt like a dream come true.

Growing up in Orangeburg, I didn't know that I lived in the 'corridor of shame.' I was the son of a single mom who learned to read from comic books. My grandparents helped raise me.

When I think about our HBCUs, I think of icons like my mentor Jim Clyburn, a South Carolina State graduate, who fought against discrimination and segregation, and continues to champion for civil rights and equality.

Federal resources are vital to the health of our HBCUs.

When we lift women up, our communities thrive.

I grew up in a household where a missed day of work meant bills were not paid, I've lived through the stress that confronts many South Carolina families.

No parent should have to choose between their job and caring for their child, and no person should miss valuable moments with their loved ones because of work.

Black History Month is a poignant time for the entire country, but particularly the African American community.

America can win the global energy race of the future, but only if we act boldly. We can and should seize the massive economic opportunity of leading the world in clean energy, by making investments that would create countless high-paying jobs and clean up our air and water in the process.

I disagree with those who want to shut down the H-1B Visa program.

Listen, I have lived the American dream, which is something that I am deeply proud of and something that I believe every child in South Carolina or across the country should have the opportunity to do.

I'm fully aware of the tricks that are often played in elections here in South Carolina.

I prefer a prison full of criminals than a graveyard full of innocent people.

I believe that a strong man makes a strong country.

I vote for every privatization bill that I can. It is the Left that opposes privatization. They just want to preserve their government jobs.

It doesn't matter what the colour of your skin is, your sexual preference, the region where you were born, your gender. We're all equal... We can't take certain minorities and think they have super powers and are different from the others.

I know what hierarchy and discipline mean. Without those, we will never have order and progress.

I'd rather my son died in an accident than showed up with some bloke with a moustache.

Every honest citizen, man or woman, if they want to have a weapon in their homes - depending on certain criteria - should be able to have one.

I have five children. There were four boys. The fifth, I got weak, and a girl came.

We are going to unite this people. We will unite whites and blacks, homosexuals and heterosexuals... We will unite bosses and employees, and we won't plant the seed of discord between them.

I am in favour of a dictatorship.

We will reduce the tax burden, simplify tax rules, and make life easier for those who want to produce, do business, invest, and create jobs.

Real democracy is food on the table, the ability to plan your life, the ability to walk on the street without getting mugged.

If anyone interferes into the private life of two people, I will defend the right of those two people between their four walls. That is no problem.

It saddens me to see the entrepreneurial world in Brazil, because it's a misfortune to be a boss in our country, with so many labor laws.

Because women get more labor rights than men, meaning they get maternity leave, the employer prefers to hire men.

China is taking over Brazil, and that is worrying. They are investing in mining, agriculture, energy, ports, and airports.

All of us have a mission here on Earth.

It's these leftwing people, who always put themselves above the rest, who are fascists.

We are going to unite the people, rescue the family, respect religions and our Judeo-Christian tradition, combat gender ideology, conserving our values.

We will invest heavily in safety and security... preserve the environment... make progress on biodiversity and economic progress.

We are going to change the destiny of Brazil.

This history of a secular state doesn't exist, no. The state is Christian, and those who are against it can leave.

We are going to change Brazil!

My heart is green, yellow, blue, and white.

Israel is a sovereign state. If you decide on your capital city, we will act in accordance.

A country the size of Brazil can't be held back by Mercosur to do trade with the rest of the world.

We can't continue with this social democracy here in Brazil.

If Congress grants permission, I would put armed forces in the streets.

We distrust the electronic vote here.

I took over a Brazil in the midst of a profound ethical, moral, and economic crisis. We are committed to changing our history... We want to govern by example.

If I were racist, I wouldn't be so crazy as to declare it on television.

I will not accept an election result that is not my own victory.

You do not negotiate with terrorists.

If we are competing in elections, it's because we believe in the popular vote and will be slaves to our constitution.

What we need is a government with authority but without authoritarianism.

Brazil is a paradise.

We will never resolve serious national problems with this irresponsible democracy.
