SHUT UP, THEY EXPLAINED: : The Orwellian Excuse the Congressional Black Caucus Gave for Trying to Block My Congressional Testimony.

When the Congressional Black Caucus and 260 left-leaning organizations sent letters trying to prevent me from testifying before Congress, they claimed to be opposing efforts to “undermine civil institutions” and to prevent the use of “government power to silence people.”
