Former U.S. Marine Lee Carter (D-Manassas) speaks on the floor of the Virginia House of Delegates for the first time, to talk about his deployment 8 years ago as a U.S. Marine to the earthquake-ravaged country of Haiti, and to denounced Trump’s “shithole countries” racist remarks. Thank you to Del. Carter for his service to our country, for relating this powerful story of America at its finest, and for speaking out against the worst of America currently besmirching the Oval Office.
