In an interview with Roll Call last week, Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-Mich.), an African-American, said that GOP members of Congress are “really good people,” and that they are “compassionate.”
When asked what her biggest surprise as a new member of Congress was, Rep. Lawrence responded, “My biggest surprise is that the people who are so opposed and so opposite in the rhetoric you hear are really good people.”
Here is a transcript (and video) of what Rep. Lawrence had to say:
