1. Donald Trump:

   So this week it's Robert E. Lee, i noticed that (Confederate Gen.) Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder, is it George Washington next week? And is it (President) Thomas Jefferson the week after? You know, you really do have to ask yourself, where does it stop?

2. Indya Moore:

   I don't want anyone to be fooled by the colors in the streets, the rainbow glosses around the ads of T-Mobile or any of the other wonderful companies, into thinking that we are free because we're not, and so to see today, on the anniversary of Stonewall, police heavy saturated in our streets, it's traumatic for some of us.

3. Tim Ryan:

   China has been a bad actor and everyone knows it — from continuing to stonewall on the WHO investigation of COVID-19 origins to perpetrating genocide and committing mass humans rights violations,’ i’m glad to see the Biden Administration take steps to hold China accountable, but this diplomatic boycott does not go far enough.

4. Fred Upton:

   One of the reasons that I voted to hold Steve Bannon in contempt was Steve Bannon in contempt didn't cooperate at all, and in fact, at the time, and one of the arguments was that even Staff Mark Meadows was having Staff Mark Meadows lawyers communicate with the committee, and if you stonewall Congress... If you refuse to participate in that, all of a sudden you don't really have an equal branch of government trying to get to the answers of this. So for me, I want to see what the Select Committee will do, see what the recommendation is and then take it from there.

5. Richard Milhous Nixon:

   I want you to stonewall it. (To staff on news of break-in at Watergate)
