“Family violence is a criminal act; perpetrators, while often former victims themselves, need to accept culpability.”

“If you have to abuse your power, you're probably in the process of losing it.”

“I am not someone who will bare my soul on Twitter. If I am angry with somebody, I will abuse them there, if I am happy, I will express it there.”

“Without the U.S. leading the way in trade negotiations, we likely will see irreversible damage to our environment and widespread abuse of labor and human rights, all while we lose out on the opportunity to expand our economy and create jobs.”
