Kevin McCarthy's Public Statements on Issue: Civil Liberties and Civil Rights

Date Title
07/19/2022 Tweet - "This racist, sexist behavior from Democrat Rep. Vicente Gonzalez is disgusting. He owes Rep. Mayra Flores an apology, and every other Democrat in Congress--including Speaker Pelosi--should condemn his conduct."
05/03/2022 Tweet - "Yesterday's unprecedented leak is an attempt to severely damage the Supreme Court. This clearly coordinated campaign to intimidate and obstruct the Justices from upholding the Constitution must be immediately investigated. Full statement from @SteveScalise , @RepStefanik , & me:"
12/10/2021 Tweet - "Today is Human Rights Day. Would've been a perfect day to send a bill over to the Senate to hold the world's largest human rights abuser accountable for slave labor."
07/16/2021 Tweet - "President Biden's White House is teaming up with Big Tech to censor speech. It's wrong & contrary to your 1st Amendment rights. The American people deserve to know--how much are taxpayers paying for Biden to monitor their personal social media accounts & suppress their voices?"
06/17/2021 Tweet - "It's no secret a lot of manufacturing takes place in China. It's also no secret that the Chinese Communist Party is engaging in forced labor of Uyghurs. Why are Democrats turning a blind eye to these atrocities?"
06/16/2021 Tweet - "No American company should be involved with any product or service that relies on forced labor--in China or anywhere else. Republicans just acted to apply sanctions to those who fail this basic human rights test. Democrats have a chance to join us or keep looking the other way."
04/12/2021 Tweet - "Over the weekend, the Supreme Court ruled once again to uphold Californians' religious freedoms. The discrimination of at-home religious gatherings in California, while other services and entities congregate with less restrictions, is unacceptable."
06/04/2020 Tweet - "As a nation, we have to say no more. No more racial discrimination. No more looting. No more senseless violence. In order to honor George Floyd, this moment must be about who we are--and who we hope to be--as Americans."
06/01/2020 Tweet - "George Floyd and his family deserve justice. Peaceful protestors deserve to be seen and heard. Looters, rioters, and anarchists deserve consequences. I support the President in restoring law and order. Keep America safe!"
05/29/2020 Tweet - "George Floyd should still be alive today. We can honor his memory by healing our broken communities. By mending racial divides. And by rebuilding America into a more perfect union that we know it should be. Ripping a city--and a country--apart only deepens the wound."
05/29/2020 Tweet - "When an American is wrongfully killed, we expect justice to come swiftly. The arrest and charges against the officer who killed George Floyd is the right first step in providing that due justice."
06/05/2019 Tweet - "Thirty years after the brutal Tiananmen Square protests, there is even less freedom in China. The Communist Party maintains its inhumane grip on power."
02/11/2019 Tweet - " In the face of Democrats' abdication of leadership, Republicans will take action this week to ensure the House speaks out against anti-Semitic hatred. We stand with Israel and the Jewish people. My full statement"
02/10/2019 Tweet - "One of my greatest honors is leading new members on a bipartisan trip to Israel to showcase the shared values and unbreakable bond between our countries."
02/02/2019 Tweet - "VA Governor Ralph Northam's past racist behavior caps a week where he displayed an egregious lack of respect for human dignity and the American values that we fight every day to uphold. Staying in office only poisons efforts to grow together as one nation. He should resign."
01/21/2019 Tweet - "Today, let us reflect upon the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His life of service and his message of mutual respect are powerful examples for all Americans on this #MLKDay."
01/13/2019 Tweet - "Let me be clear----Rep. King's language is reckless, wrong, and has no place in society. As @HouseGOP leader I will not let this stand. Action will be taken."
01/03/2019 Tweet - "While we seek cooperation, there is one core principle upon which we will not compromise. Republicans will always choose personal freedom over government control."
06/26/2018 Tweet - "I want to thank @NIFLA, @AllianceDefends, and many others who spoke up to defend our First Amendment rights in this case. Now pro-life pregnancy centers can continue their life-saving work free from the threat of government coercion. #GiveFreeSpeechLife"
06/13/2018 Tweet - "If Big Tech wants to regain the trust of the American people, it needs to live up to the principles it was founded on: freedom of speech and expression. #StopTheBias"
02/18/2018 Tweet - "The Fourth Amendment's protections against unreasonable searches and seizures isn't a recommendation. It's a Constitutional right. And when that right is violated, our government takes a step closer to tyranny."
01/18/2018 Tweet - "If we don't preserve the freedom of all people to live in accordance with their faith, our unity as a nation is lost. But if we defend religious freedom, America will remain the hope for all mankind."
