"How dare you disparage a corporation that lines my pockets and donates to my campaign!" is basically what Lindsey Graham said.

He is fighting for worker rights protection. This will benefit not just current but future warehouse workers. Essential Workers are the backbone of economy, they deserve a union

For the first time in a very long time, I am seeing the America that I was taught growing up. Proud of you, Mr. Smalls. You give me renewed hope for our future and have reminded me that nothing and no one is too small when it comes to human rights. We matter. ALL of us. And it's up to ALL of us to demand that respect and continue to fight for the power we have forgotten is ours. God bless you.

“Its not a right or left thing.” Beautifully said, Mr. Smalls!

Christian Smalls is fighting hard for the people. Workers' rights are important, we need raises, better healthcare, and child care so we can work. It isn't rocket science help the working class!

May the lord bless & protect Chris Smalls & his family! He is fighting harder for working class folks & unions than ANY politician in Washington.

Amazon tried to smear and defame this man's character and now it's blown up in their faces in nuclear fashion.

Keep going Mr. Smalls, they're on the backfoot now. Time to go national✊🏿

It’s so important that he kept his fitted, chains on, and grill in his mouth while eloquently articulating his point to congress. Leaders don’t always look the way you want them to look, but they always get you to where you need to go. A true representation of what America is supposed to be.

This man is a living legend. Thank you, Mr. Smalls, for bringing the peoples' interests to the halls of Congress.

[BC]

Hats off to him and everyone else who organized. They did what everyone said could not be done. Power to the people!

[daniella]

It’s obvious this man is a leader and I hope he gets everything he is fighting for. Amazon should also promote him.

[Rastafarianinja]

I never thought someone like me could be in a position to protect people’s best interests, particularly when it comes to their rights as workers. Christian Smalls proved it’s possible

[MultiGreenfairy]

Love the fact this man rolled up like him, not trying to be phony and show up in a suit! As if just wearing a suit makes someone legitimate!

[deanmoriarty]

this dude has been absolutely killing it. gives me a lot of hope.

[kalijasin]

"This is not a left or right thing, this is a working class issue." Exactly right.

[soberminds]

It's a beautiful thing to see our generation are rising up and being heard.

[HeyMJ.]

“We represent your constituents as well..” (Yes, in every state.) Amazon workers & employees of similar corp’s are listening. All are equal under the law, and should be treated as such.

[bdoubleu]

Y’all better protect that man he’s right it’s not right or left thing and I’m conservative United we stand divided we fall everyone #timetofightback

[blacblack]

This is a perfect example of never judge a book by it's cover and of not being afraid to do the right thing and speak truth to power!👏🏿👏🏼👏 Bravo to this brother, he sets a great example of standing up for yourself against all odds.👍🏾

As an Amazon delivery driver... We get absolutely treated like dirt.... I see what the warehouse workers go through as well and it's brutal... The pressure that's on them and the way the higher ups treat them is disgusting.
