"While I’m up here I want to shout out all of our friends and neighbors who couldn’t be here tonight. Our international friends and neighbors who cannot safely travel to this country. Our immigrant friends and neighbors who cannot safely travel inside this country. Our trans friends and neighbors who cannot safely travel after having their driver’s licenses revoked overnight without warning by a cruel and unnecessary legislative act.

“Our friends and neighbors in places like Iran, Venezuela, or Gaza who fear for their lives on a daily basis because of cruel and unnecessary violence. I don’t have any plans to stand on this stage again anytime soon, but if I ever were to do so again I would want it to be amongst all of my friends and neighbors, safe and thriving.”
