Schakowsky Statement on President Trump’s Inaugural Address

Today, Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky released the following statement on President Donald Trump’s inaugural address:

“President Trump’s populist speech promised to return power to the American people. Which people?

His actions to date tell us that Wall Street and billionaires will dominate his cabinet. He spoke of good schools for our children, and named a person completely hostile to public education for Secretary of Education. He said there is “no room for prejudice,” but chose a man with a long history of discrimination as his Attorney General. His populist rhetoric is a big con – but reality has a way of catching up.

He is right that this is a time for action. Action by everyone who truly represents the interests of ordinary Americans.”
