In my community you judge a mans heart by his words and deeds. Donald trump your words have been bigoted and you have used every opportunity to talk about your well. Qualified to serve as president of the United States. You use your celebrity status to paint a picture of gloom and doom. Alienateour status to africanamericans and other groups. You would use the offices of president to take our nation in the wrong direction. You want to know your polling numbers are so dismal among we know youicans, have gotten rich through your business but we also know your well has come at the expense of other people.

My name is andre carson and i stand here today not just as a representative of the great youngof indiana but as a Africanamerican Muslim and former Police Officer. Millions of loyal, good hearted people have watched the deepseated hatred of the past once again become mainstream. Together we have been singled out in the National Spotlight as threats to be dealt with and not a part of american families. Way,onald trump has their this slide into hatred and bigotry will only get worse. Now i am from indiana. Ive seen mike pences terrible judgment of up close. He is against samesex couples having equal rights. For years he has fought to defund planned parenthood both in indiana and across this country. boos let the terrible judgment of mike pence and donald trump impact our civil rights. That is why we need Hillary Clinton she believes that if every uniform makes you feel this suspicion. You deserve compassion and understanding. Hillary clinton is undaunted. She stands with us and we need you to stand with her. Fellow democrats, i am from california. Democrats, we have 100 and three days to show the nation that there is a better path or our country. 103 days to ensure our nation will not slide backwards to the bigotry of our past. 103 days to stop our country from giving in to the incoherent range which trump has taken advantage of to declare war on common sense. Take pride in the outright ignorance. When you dismiss officers officerinvolved shootings. , youyou degrade women unite us. We are democrats and we embrace the full diversity of the american rainbow.

In america a face of clear choice. It is a choice between a commander in chief and a bankrupt or in chief. It is a choice between the secretary of state and the secretary of hate. Hillary believes that america is a better place today because of the presidency of barack obama. We should provide for the poor and work for working families and stand up for senior citizens. She will revitalize rural she will increase andomic opportunity eradicate Police Brutality once and for all. She believes whether you are black or white, latino or asian, muslim, catholic or protestant, gay or straight, young or old, every single american deserves equal protection under the law and that is like together we are going to elect Hillary Rodham clinton as the next resident of the United States of america. God bless you. [applause] my fellow democrats. Were you can graduate from without crowd crushing debt. Where manufacturing jobs are on the rise again, where women are paid equally and seniors live with the dignity and comfort thanks to a strong, Social Security system. Where we stand united with the conviction. We cannot get there with the serial divider donald trump. A spineless vegetal. We can get there with Hillary Rodham clinton, a leader with experience and statement ship. I am congresswoman yvette from oakland it, new york. Brooklyn, new york. Was the First Caribbean born American Woman to be elected to the new york city council. I know a great leader when i see her. Hillary Rodham Clinton is our and our next president of the United States of america. Congressman Gregory Meeks. I am honored to unite around our and my good friend Hillary Rodham clinton. Ive seen the two candidates up close and personal. Let me tell you hillary offers everything that donald trump cannot. She fights for american workers. She plans to make college debtfree for all. The creates as m university to exploit others. Vision. Rs a donald says im always right. The truth is, he is wrong. He is wrong for our families and our communities. He is wrong for our country. Clinton is going to tackle income inequality and provide opportunities for the poor. Is going to invest in communities that have been neglected for far too long. Americans, it is time for us to band together. Us to as fire. It is time for us to build a strong future for our kids and our country. That by electing her to the white house this november. [applause] please welcome the president stephanie sist, chriok. Ms. Schriock 100 years ago this november a social worker from my home state of montana became the first woman elected ever to congress. The first, but not the last. Once that barrier fell there was no turning back. List hasears, emilys elected hundreds of more women into the house and the senate and every other office on the ballot. Except one. Hillary clinton be our first woman president. She will not be our last. Falls, it willer never be put back up. The women we have elected have not just brought new voices to newdebate they have brought momentum to the progressive movement. Womendont just fight for. They fight for families, they fight for fairness, inclusion and justice. Leadersr republican oppose equal pay for women and refuse to stand up for working mothers to trying to balance career and family. They let your boss fire you for using Birth Control and force us to undergo invasive transvaginal ultrasounds. They dont respect women. They dont trust women. They want to control women. They are afraid of the change we bring, the progress we make when we get a chance to lead. They are terrified of Hillary Clinton. No matter what they throw at her, they have never been able to stop her. Beijing, sheock to fought for fairness, for inclusion, for justice. She has one. Won. They are making their last to thosefor all of us for who have tried to make progress in america. They are desperate, that means theyare dangerous nominated a man who said women should be punished for having an abortion. Who has called us fat cakes and animals. He picked a running mate who led the fight to destroy planned parenthood and try to redefine rape and suggest that mothers stump the emotional growth of their kids by putting them in day care. If they win, they will need every ounce of progress we have dared to make. We have come too far to let that happened. More Democratic Women of and down the ballot. , moreomen in the house women in the senate. Im not to take the majority. Lets decide right here and now to break through that last barrier. And at long last put a woman in the white house. Hillary clinton our first women president. Not our last. In the deaths of the 2008 crisis, i got a call at home in the evening. Saidvery softspoken man he would slip me 20. He knew i was cheap. He said, go shine your shoes. Everyone knows whos talked reid,ntly to harry it totally changed my life. He is relentless. I have some pride fights. Senator harry reid is telling republicans to back off of Social Security. What he did with president obama is to cross the finish line. He did it with no votes to spare. I think of health care, i think of my mom and my dad. My mom not being able to go to the doctor. My mother had no teeth. Producing they were gone. He had stood up to the powers that be by taking on the big money and trust that have so much influence in our country. Harry has always joined with me to make sure we were fighting for the Economic Empowerment of women. Magister master legislator. I worked all one summer. I got my mother some teeth. A personal level, it is how he interacts with the children. Uswhat harry reid has taught harry, we have had a good run. You have to stand up, even if you know youre not going to win. Please welcome the Senate Democratic leader harry read from nevada. [applause] thank you everybody. Winky. Thank you. Thank you very much. chanting i spent a lot of time in the republican senate. It is nice to be in a room that respects reason and fact. I appreciate this tribute. I really do. Anything ive accomplished in senateate, my democratic caucus, nancy pelosi in the house. President barack obama. Vice president joe biden. I get a never ending tribute to Hillary Clinton. We have fought that Affordable Health care is a right, not a privilege. We fought for the idea that you shouldnt get the bill for wall streets babette. Team, we fought for the promise that your hard earned Social Security is a sacred trust. Pence wantp and mike to put Insurance Companies back in charge of your health. Donald trump and mike pence want to let big banks were run wild again. With yourto gamble Retirement Benefits in the stock market. Republicans want to tear down the killers of middleclass security. We wont let that happen. [applause] i have never seen anything more craven than Mitch Mcconnell and what he has done to our democracy. His Republican Party decided hardworkinger to dreams is to slander our africanamerican president. To stoke fear of muslims, to and ofatred of latinos course wage war against women. In other words, the only thing republicans like Mitch Mcconnell have accomplished is setting the stage for a hateful con man, donald trump. When donald trump decided to run for president , he probably said himself, im an egomaniac. I believe in science. I think women are inferior. Where would i feel at home . We know where that is. Parents, you are right to fear what comes out of his mouth. Republicans, you should have been careful also. He learned it from watching you. They say they believe in country first. What a joke. Publicans that wont stand up to trump believe in one thing only. First and this year, they have gone even further. Nominating the poster child of me first. Trump knew that hateful rhetoric is the way to win in todays gop. That is not how you win in america and that is not how america wins in the world. We win with an economy that works for everybody , with a strong and smart that does notity invite a cyber attack on our country. We know that winning is the work of the team. With hillary and the white house and a majority in the senate, forcrats will keep fighting Immigration Reform that keeps america true. Assume a and Supreme Court that keeps america just. And background checks for gun violators and an assault weapons ban that keeps america safe. [applause] since my days, i have fought my share of fights. Also realized a leader is actually a corner man, someone that stands on your side and has your back in a fight. Middleclass life. Democrats stand in your corner. Americans fighting for equality and respect, we are in your corner. New americans risking everything to get here and fighting to make it here, we are in your corner. You are the ones fighting the hardest fight. You are the ones who need leaders in your corner. Leaders like my forever friend bernie sanders. Leaders like use fund help democrats take back the senate. Leaders to never back down and oh, do we love kim. We really do. Leaders who have had your back their whole lives, like Hillary Clinton. The most qualified candidate in the history of america. In a few months, i will be stepping out of the rain ring one last time. But democrats will always be in your corner. Together but keep fighting. Fighting the good fight. Thank you very much. [cheers] [chanting] harry, harry. Please welcome californias Lieutenant Governor gavin newsom. [cheers] Lieutenant Governor news some im a proud democrat from the great state of california. [cheers] i am proud because todays california, todays california is strong and getting stronger. The jet propelled engine of job creation, home quarter creativity around the world. We have done it not just through innovation, but we have done it through inclusion. We are proimmigrant, proenvironment, prowomen, proworkers, and probably progay, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender. [applause] we are not the golden state despite our values. We are the golden state because of them. At our best we dont tolerate our diversity. At our best we celebrate it. Those values of liberty, diversity, and opportunity. Those are fundamentally american values. Those values are under attack not just by enemies abroad, but by a gop that has moved its fear mongering french to center stage fringe to center stage. What donald trump presented last week was not political discourse. It wasnt even clinical incorrectness. What trump presented with the fetus and defeatist and retreatist. Never has a speech been so long was so little substance, science, humanity, humor or so little hope. His hostile takeover of the American Dream is built on two fundamental lies. That america is a dark and desperate place, and that he has the kind of plan to make it better. The sunnyngled us, optimism of Ronald Reagan and replaced tear down that wall with the bigotry of bill that will. Malice towards different views and different hues. Those are disqualifications from any office, let alone the highest office in the land. [applause] democrats, while it was refreshing to finally see an openly gay man speak at a republican convention, it does not remove the stain of selecting mike pence, americas most antilgbt governor. [applause] pence supported overt discrimination. He advocated for diverting taxpayer dollars to socalled conversion therapy. Mistake. Conversion therapy is not about praying a way to get a. Away the gay. Its a torture against our most innocent citizens, our children. Live theyem that to must apply lie about who they are and who they love. That is fundamentally unamerican. Choice has never been more clear. We can live our fears, all we can live our dreams. Hillary clinton is dedicated her entire life to putting the American Dream within reach. She believes in diversity over division. The hard work of pluralism over the illusion of differences and as a father of four i want to say this. I want to Say Something to all the children who were watching, all the children that are listening at home. When you hear people say that you and your family dont matter because of who you are or where you come from or what you look like or you love, i want you to know one thing. The people in this room, the people all across this country believe you matter. Hillary clinton believes you matter. We believe that you belong here. We need you here. We believe you can be whoever you are and become wtever you want to be. We will fight for you. We will fight for you not just over the next 100 days, but over the next 100 years. No matter how what people tell you, that is what america is all about. That is what makes america great. [cheers]. Thank you. Ive raised almost 6 million for veterans, including putting up 1 million of my own money. He raised and donated 6 million for veterans groups. The Washington Post reports that donald trump has not in fact done that. It turns out trump never make good on that donation. He has never cared about veterans before he decided to run for president. He is trying behind to hide behind veterans. It wasnt until after he was exposed that he decided to write this check. It took the press to push you to release that money of saying he had already done it. More than a month after this event. We can only account for 800,000 of the suppose it 6 million raised. We saw he does not like to be reminded about what he said before. He said he was going to pitch in 1 million. We dont know without 1 million is right now. You war hero because he was captured. The remarks for so crude, ignorant, personal, and completely unnecessary. Here are some of the terms his opponents used to describe trumps comments. And even theic, National Committee is suggesting there is no place in the party for his kind of talk. Governor perry said it disqualified trump to be commanderinchief. Do you agree . I do agree. Representativeme arizona. Lego of rep. Gallego thank you, thank you. These days some people, congressman. The proudest title ive ever had is that it United States marine. Iraq, and the legendary lima company out of ohio. Deploy behind besides me were the sons of native americans, african americans, midwestern white boys, and Muslim Americans as well. [applause] while we were looking for insurgents in iraq we do not care a
