The defense argued in their briefs and they argued again here on Tuesday that the insurrectionists were acting on their own, that they were not incited by President Trump or acting in his direction. But that`s just not the case.

The insurrectionists acted at Donald Trump`s direction. They said so they were invited here. They were invited by the President of the United States.

Please vote to convict the president so this never happens again.

The rioters' own words that day many of which were broadcast today in the Senate chamber for senators to see, and the rioters' words in their legal defense filing since they've all been arrested give absolute lie to that assertion because…

When President Trump asked his supporters to come to D.C. to stop the steal, to stop the certification of the vote on January 6, his supporters took him seriously and literally.

On January 6th, we know who lit the fuse. Donald Trump told these insurrectionists to come to the Capitol and stop the steal.

Their statements before, during and after the attack made clear the attack was done for Donald Trump at his instructions, and to fulfill his wishes.

All of these people who had been arrested and charged, they are being held accountable for their actions. Their leader, the man who incited them, must be held accountable as well.

You don't have to take my word for it that the insurrectionist acted at Donald Trump's direction, they said so.

What unfathomable horrors await us if we do not stand up now and say, no, this is not America? And we will not just express condolences and denunciations.

Perhaps the single most important objective in reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, as the President has called for, is to eliminate the carbon emissions of the electricity sector.

President Biden has correctly identified it as one of the great crises we must confront as a nation today.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this important hearing. I am so excited and grateful that we are finally working with an administration prepared to address the climate crisis.

If we can increase our capacity and have more rapid test results, it will continue--if we can't do that, it will continue to make it difficult for us to limit the spread.

I have called on the Biden administration to involve a geriatrician or expert in aging services on the COVID-19 response team.

I hope my Republican colleagues will join me, without delay, in supporting this bill for the American people. There is simply no time to waste.

The end of this nightmare is in sight. Now is the time to double down on our efforts, and finally turn the corner on this pandemic.

We saw endless dysfunction and chaos as our country was left adrift by the absence of strong, competent Federal leadership

The end of this nightmare is in sight. Now is the time to double down on our efforts

We must act with a sense of urgency and use every resource available at the Federal, State, and local levels to fight the spread of this disease.

The Biden administration absolutely has its work cut out for it. Indeed, it faces the greatest and most immediate challenge of any Presidential administration in modern memory.

As Mr. Dingell used to say, our charge is broad--rooting out waste, fraud, and, abuse wherever we may find it--and I'm sure we'll have many opportunities in the 117th Congress.

The American people have seen all of this evidence on TV and on social media.

It’s just -- it’s in such plain evidence that you almost forget that it’s just incitement of the riot that happened and an attempt to stop the Democratic counting of this certified results.

Somebody trying to manipulate the Department of Justice which is supposed to be the independent legal watchdog for our country is just appalling.
