I'm going to be out there fighting for my president, but he does not send his kids to Washington DC public schools. I got a governor in the statehouse, he does not send his kids to Trenton public schools. I could go all the way down to city council people in Newark, that do not send their kids-so what have we created? A system that if you're connected, elected, have wealth and privilege, you get the freedom in this country. and now you want to deny to my community? No, I am going to fight for the freedom and liberty and the choice and options of my people, in the same way you will defend that right for yourself."
