House Speaker Shekarchi on McKee closing off the rotunda to the public:
"I wouldn't do it because I think it breeds mistrust, among the media and the advocates."
"I have never seen that before. I never saw it with Gov. Raimondo and ... [never] with Governor Chafee."

Thank you to the everyday Rhode Islanders who gathered at our State House this evening to share their views, especially regarding our #HousingCrisis. And thank you to all the reporters who covered this story. #Democracy can't survive without a free press.

“This sends a message to any Rhode Islander who wishes to come to the State House that unless the governor agrees with your reason for organizing or using your voice he will not allow you in certain places in the building” @blmripac's @_HarrisonTuttle said

How is it that a person who committed a hate crime and authored a manifesto stating, “Hunt them down. Gun everyone who isn’t white,” receives only a 5-year sentence? Why is the state of Rhode Island entering into plea agreements with an individual who intended to carry out acts of domestic terrorism? @USAO_RI @AGNeronha
