Sen. Tim Kaine on MSNBC yesterday:
- “You can talk about sending education back to the states. Yeah, that’s what that’s where we were before Brown v Board of Education – the states got to decide, and the states made a hell of a lot of decisions that were really awful. And that’s why there needed to be some level of federal supervision over what is still primarily a state and local responsibility.”
- “Canada is a close neighbor and ally. They’re, you know, one of the biggest trade partners with the United States, we’ve been peaceful friends for so very long. Canadians spent a lot of time vacationing in Virginia, and we really love Canadian visitors. But this kind of abuse is just so sophomoric and juvenile. And then you got to ask yourself, who’s the big baby here? You know, they have that meeting and maybe they talk tough to Prime Minister Trudeau. But today, Lutnick announces we’re backing off on the tariffs yet again. They announced the tariffs, but then they delayed implementation and now they’re backing off once again. They’re not backing off out of the kindness of their heart. Trump’s backing off of these tariffs because it’s a horrible idea economically, they’re looking at bad news in the stock market, bad news in inflation. There’s Republicans who are going to the White House and saying, we’re not going to say it publicly, but this will be a disaster for our farmers and our manufacturers. And so they announced this charitable decision today, we’ll back off For the tariffs another month. So they may have talked abusively, but they ended up backing down, not Canada. And they backed down because tariffs are a stupid idea that only hurt Americans.”
