On today's episode of The Daily Signal Podcast, we talk with Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C., about how he is building bridges between conservatives and communities of color.

Walker spoke out against the chant "send them back," directed at people like Rep. Ilhan Omar and is challenging his colleagues in Congress to reject such rhetoric.

The congressman says we need to focus on having genuine conversations because, "If you get to the place where you understand that it’s not so much about winning the argument as it is about making a difference, I believe that puts you at a good place to be able to share, really, in a much broader way than maybe even you thought you originally could do."

You can follow Rep. Mark Walker on Twitter @RepMarkWalker.
