WASHINGTON—In a speech delivered on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives on June 7, Congressman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) strongly condemned the May 16 attack on peaceful American protesters in Washington, D.C.
“I stand here today to affirm that we will not allow Turkey to beat innocent protesters on the streets of our nation’s Capitol. We will continue to pursue justice, and to make clear that America will always stand up for the right of peaceful and free expression,” Schiff said in his remarks.
The House of Representatives unanimously passed H.Res.354 a day earlier, forcefully condemning the attack and demanding that the perpetrators be held accountable.
