In a poignant address on the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, Bill Clinton called for Americans to prioritize unity over resentment. He defended government employees as dedicated public servants and warned against the dangers of political polarization, echoing themes from the 1995 tragedy. Reflecting on the attack which claimed 168 lives, including 19 children, he highlighted the current climate of division, reminding the audience of the need to work together for a more inclusive society. Clinton's remarks served as a solemn reminder of the past and a plea for unity in the face of extremism.
"If our lives are going to be dominated by efforts to dominate people we disagree with, we're going to put the 250-year-old march toward a more perfect union at risk."
"Most of the people who lost their lives were public servants... What they did every day was a matter of choice, showing up for work, to do business for the American people."
