In a response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech last night, Rep. Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts spoke of matters important to many — particularly to DREAMers.

The commanding speech, that was reminiscent of former president Barack Obama, touched on many of the topics that Trump did including the Russia investigation, immigration, health care. However, Kennedy’s handling of those matters was more centered on reality. Some people on social media even included that Kennedy’s unifying speech, which including portions in Spanish, could signal a run for presidency.

Here’s a portion of that speech:

He continued…

“And to all the ‘Dreamers’ watching tonight, let me be clear: Ustedes son parte de nuestra historia. Vamos a luchar por ustedes y no nos vamos alejar. You are a part of our story. We will fight for you. We will not walk away. America, we carry that story on our shoulders.”

And for those wondering if Kennedy was drooling during his speech. He was not! He says he used too much Chapstick.
