This country was founded on the principle of open discourse. Intellectual diversity and vigorous, reasoned debate have been fundamental to America's success.
I believe that genuine scientific discovery flourishes only in an atmosphere of dispassionate, open-minded inquiry, with research evaluated according to neutral, evidence-based criteria.
I support a United States that welcomes immigrants and refugees to apply for entry and ultimately citizenship.
I reject as venomous and ignorant any discrimination based on race, gender, creed, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
I own a minority stake in Breitbart News, where I have no editorial authority, because I believe it adds an important journalistic voice to the American conversation.
I believe in a kind and generous United States, where the hungry are fed, the sick are cared for, and the homeless are sheltered.
