Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-21) issued the following statement in response to President Trump's Inaugural Address.

“I’m grateful to former-President Obama, who led this country through one of the most challenging times in our history and breakthroughs for human rights. 

With all due respect to President Trump, as to his inaugural remarks today, I do not share his pessimistic view of America or his bias towards extreme nationalism. We are a nation of opportunity, a country that cherishes diversity and the leader of the free world.

With that said, I am prepared to work cooperatively with the new administration where possible and be a force of resistance when necessary.”
