Rep. Henriquez speaks 39:45 – 46:10
The NAACP, New England Area Conference (NEAC), respectfully requests that the Massachusetts House of Representatives abstain from voting in the matter of the expulsion of Representative Carlos Henriquez, expected to come before the House today.
“Resolutions urging the expulsion of the Honorable Carlos A. Henriquez, Representative from the Fifth Suffolk District from the Massachusetts House of Representatives”, which will be published as House, No. 3894.
Throughout this process, I have found it imperative to separate opinion from fact. Everyone has an opinion, to which each of us is entitled. We are also all capable of seeking facts through effort and critical independent thought. Facts can be proven.
