You’ve seen Chuck Schumer go to the podium, negotiate with us, almost begging the president to bring the parties together, like he said, Donald Trump literally has said, it’s the president’s responsibility to bring the parties together and…

I would fight this tooth-and-nail and sue the Trump administration to finish this critical, job-creating infrastructure project to reduce congestion and improve quality of life in New Jersey.

As much as you supplicate yourself to the will of Donald Trump, and not the Constitution, the United States of America, Donald Trump has shown us in his first term, and in this term, he is not loyal to people like you.

The greatest terrorist acts we’ve seen since 9/11 are not from foreign terrorists. They’re from home grown Right-wing extremist groups.

I am standing and fighting against any kind of budget proposal that’s going to hurt Americans or hurt people in New Jersey.

I can’t speak to other senators’ consideration, but I’m going to say it as loud as I can, as often as I can, this is a time to stand and fight.

I believe there comes a time when everyone should stand up and fight for what’s right, and that’s what I intend to do.

For weeks, Americans have watched federal agents with no visible identification detain people off the streets and instill fear in communities across the country.

We can’t bring a knife to a gunfight.

It’s time for Democrats have a backbone. It’s time for us to fight. It’s time for us to draw lines.

I am standing for my police officers. I’m standing for the Constitution, and I’m standing for what’s right. And dear God, if you want to come at me that way, you’re gonna have to pick it up with me, because there’s too much on the line…

What I am tired of is when the president of the United States of America violates the Constitution, trashes our norms and traditions, and what does the Democratic Party do? Comply? Allow him? Beg for scraps? No, I demand justice.

This, to me, is the problem with Democrats in America right now is we’re willing to be complicit to Donald Trump.

We are standing at a moment where our president is eviscerating the Constitution of the United States of America, and we’re willing to go along with that today. No, no, not on my watch.

It’s time for Democrats to have a backbone. It’s time for us to fight. It’s time for us to draw lines.

Don’t question my integrity. Don’t question my motives. I’m standing for Jersey, I am standing for my police officers, I’m standing for the Constitution and I’m standing for what’s right.
