Oh, no, I absolutely we think we have to take him seriously, for sure. And even if we don't take him seriously, the idea that he has all of those supporters out there, and that he's saying that he's going to call them together on January 6…

Well, I think it's absolutely tragic. I also serve on the Foreign Affairs Committee, and we see other countries doing this all the time to essentially invalidate an election. I think it just sends a terrible, terrible signal.

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: Strike all that follows after the resolving clause and insert the following: That in the enrollment of S. 3312, an…

The Crisis Stabilization and Community Reentry Act of 2020 represents a significant step toward ensuring that incarcerated people receive appropriate mental health and substance abuse care while in a correctional facility and that those…

The overwhelming majority of incarcerated individuals are released from jail or prison and returned to their communities. This bill would take meaningful steps to make the reentry process more efficient and, ultimately, more successful…

I do think that it is critical that there be an African-American woman in the U.S. Senate.

Well, first of all, I don't know why we would be surprised that people would be leery of the vaccine. It's because they're leery of the president.

There be an African-American woman in the U.S. Senate. And when the Senator Harris, Vice President Harris departs, there will not be.

He is in complete disarray. I mean, he has been chaotic from the beginning. But now, he is trying to come to grips with the fact that he is about to get an eviction notice.

I think his plan -- he doesn't have a national plan. I think his plan is herd immunity.

It's because they're leery of the president. They know that everything he has said so far, like a few minutes ago, he's still debating whether he won the election.

I mean, it has just been this way. There's also the fundraising scheme that he is saying when he's directly to people, saying, you're going to contribute to my legal defense funds so we can overturn the election, when, actually, 75 percent…

I don't know of anyone on either side of the aisle who calls for defunding the police.

And I just think about next year when President Biden and Vice President Harris are sworn in. When they go into each of these agencies, can you imagine the amount of corruption that we're going to find?

I do think that the reason why that surged is because, finally, finally, people can see that the chaos is going to end. It's going to end in a little over 50 days.
