And then during WWII, we put Japanese Americans in camps all over the county, thought it was the right thing to do. Everybody got carried away with the emotion of the day. We thought they were, you know, somehow terrorists. Of course, years later we had to pass a law apologizing. […] And we see this happen in other countries, I won’t give you the history.

And people are kind of listening to thoughts and listening to these very short news clips, and getting persuaded by that. We’ve got to stand up. We’ve got to stand up and say, ‘Not in this county, not in this state, and not in this country!’ We’re going to stop that negative stuff now, today. And that’s what this is about.” [emphasis added]
