"All of us are dismayed by the present state of the union," he added. "This is no time to give up. It's time to get up. Get up and fight back. Get up. Continue to fight. And what's the fight all about? ... it's about protecting the Constitution. It's about protecting the Constitution."

The former president accused President Donald Trump and his loyalists of attempting to "distort and derail our fight for equality" and "further divide the country."

"Donald Trump and the MAGA republicans are trying to distort and derail our fight for equality," he said. "They're trying to turn it into something scary, something sinister. But folks, it's really not about anything that's all that complicated. At its core, it's about making every American given the opportunity to be treated with basic decency, dignity, and respect they all deserve. That's what every single American deserves, every American."
