HOUSING: [Norah O’Donnell: “The president said on the stump, ‘I saved the suburbs. You should– you should thank me.’”]
“He wouldn’t know a suburb unless he took a wrong turn. Go out in the suburbs now. It’s not 1950. There are Black and white families living next door to one another, drivin’ each other’s kids to soccer practice. This is a different world than he lives in. Look, there’s a lotta reasons people are upset. A lotta good reasons. All he wants to do is take that sort of subliminal fear out there and say, ‘It’s because– ’cause of that guy, or because of that woman.’ That’s not who we are as a country… We’ve never met the standard, but we’ve always gone further and further and further towards– inclusion. This is the first president who’s trying to shut it down. We cannot sustain this democracy that way. We’re so much better than this.”
