"I went to a march with a sign, and all he did was put out a press release saying all of the legislative steps he was taking. Ergo, he did nothing and I did everything."
I remember Elizabeth Warren speaking, and I can't remember if Markey spoke. Pretty sure the mayor of Boston spoke. Otherwise it was people from grass roots organizations. Why would a random Congressman speak at the muslim ban march? Did she want all 9 congresspeople to speak?
Here's his press release fwiw:

And back to the St Patrick's Day Parade business. He personally orchestrated the parade committee letting the gay vets march in 2017. That seems more pertinent to the 2018 election than his stance in 1996, right?

Quote from the article: "But after the organizers voted 9 to 4 to exclude OutVets, council members came under increasing pressure to reconsider. Top politicians in the state, including the governor, Charlie Baker, and the mayor of Boston, Martin J. Walsh, announced they would skip the parade.
The reversal came during a meeting arranged by Representative Stephen F. Lynch, Democrat of Massachusetts, and other elected officials at the V.F.W. Post 561 in South Boston. After the meeting, members of the Allied War Veterans Council said the change was the right decision."
She's such a fucking idiot and she has nothing on this guy and has no idea where to even look.
