Examples of Rachel in a Sentence

1. Ezra Dolezal:

   I believe that the first most important thing regardless of what a person does is that they have integrity, rachel has done really good work fighting against racism and police brutality ... but she went about it the wrong way. She said I was born black. I grew up black and I know what it's like growing up as an African-American in this world. She does not.

2. Alexander Vindman:

   President Donald Trump just continually put Alex's name out there -- President Donald Trump seemed to be a little bit obsessed with it, and President Donald Trump would, you know, continually remark on Rachel Vindman, and I think by constantly saying President Donald Trump name, by telegraphing it to President Donald Trump supporters, that President Donald Trump put -- President Donald Trump continued to put us in danger by continuing to say our name.

3. Rachel Frederickson:

   My thyroid, which I never had problems with, is now crap, rachel Frederickson’re brainwashed to believe that Rachel Frederickson’re super-lucky to be there.

4. Samantha Holvey:

   Donald Trump lined us up, and I thought this was going to be like a meet and greet, like ‘ hi, how are ya, nice to meet Rachel Crooks, ’ it was not, donald Trump was just looking me over like I was a piece of meat, I was not a human being, I did n’t have a brain, I did n’t have a personality. I was just simply there for Donald Trump pleasure. It left me feeling very gross, very dirty. This is not what I signed up for.

5. Rachel Nichols:

   Rachel Nichols said it was surprising and disappointing that the NBA did not do the same especially when it had tributes for civil rights icon John Lewis and actor Chadwich Boseman. If you are a league that holds equality as a core value, and I know for sure that this league does, the icons of that equality cant be those who just helped the men that we all see on TV but those who paved the way for the women who worked right alongside them, after all, the NBA is significantly stronger because of all the women who work in it and around it. And we are all significantly stronger because a young lawyer dedicated her life to allow us to have those opportunities. WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert released a statement on Bader Ginsburg death on Friday two days before the Las Vegas Aces and Connecticut Sun played their playoff game. Sad to hear of the passing of an icon, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a role model, and a champion for equality for so many.
