"I am far more outraged by the U.S. Congress, which continues to deny the mostly Black and Brown people of the District of Columbia statehood and the representation every American deserves, than by anything Amy Cooper did," he told CNN. "That gross racial injustice could be fixed by Congress now, today, and that's what people should be focused on -- not last year's events in Central Park."
