I was expressing the moral outrage I felt toward the way Putin is dealing, and the actions of this man, just -- just the brutality of it, half the children in Ukraine.

Today the United States and the European Union sanctioned Vladimir Putin personally and individually for his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

Putin has ambitions beyond Ukraine.

for too long, our government and our courts have not looked like America. I believe it is time that we have a court that reflects the full talents, and greatness of our nation, with a nominee of extraordinary qualifications.

This is a spectacular nomination by the president.

Today, as we watch freedom and liberty under attack abroad, I`m here to fulfill my responsibilities under the Constitution to preserve freedom and liberty here in the United States of America. And it`s my honor to introduce to the country…

Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war and now he and his country will bear the consequences.

Today is historic for a lot of reasons, most especially that she will be the first Black woman nominated, and I hope swiftly confirmed to the court.

The generational struggle was going to be between democracy and autocracy.

For too long, our government, our courts haven’t looked like America. And I believe it’s time that we have a court reflects the full talents and greatness of our nation.

This is the beginning of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, who in the Lord`s name does Putin think gives him the right to declare new so called countries on territory that belonged whose neighbors.

I`m looking forward to making sure there`s a black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we in fact get every representation. Not a joke. Not a joke.

My nominee for the United States Supreme Court is Judge Ketanji Jackson. I`m looking forward to making sure there is a black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure and in fact get every (inaudible).

This aggression cannot go unanswered. If it did, the consequences for America would be much worse. America stands up to bullies. We stand up for freedom. This is who we are.

the President is saying he’s going to do what he can, but he can only do so much.

You heard Biden say it today. He wants more than Ukraine. We don’t know what to expect.

Putin’s actions betray his sinister vision for the future of our world—one where nations take what they want by force.

they believe that the sanctions that the President has already authorized on the banking system in Russia, on state owned enterprises in Russia, on North Stream 2, on the oligarchs go far and above anything anybody expected that this…

The Russian military has begun a brutal assault on the people of Ukraine without provocation, without justification, without necessity.

Today, I`m authorizing the strong sanctions and new limitations on what can be exported to Russia. This is going to impose severe coast on the Russian economy, both immediately, and overtime. We have purposely designed these sanctions to…

This was never about a genuine security concerns on their part. It was always about naked aggression, about Putin`s desire for empire by any means necessary, by bullying Russia`s neighbors through coercion and corruption, by changing…

the President has made that final decision, as we heard from White House press secretary Jen Psaki earlier tonight, no formal offer had been made at that point.

Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war. We will limit Russia`s ability to do business in dollars, euros, pounds and yen to be part of the global economy.

He has much larger ambitions than Ukraine. He wants to, in fact, reestablish the former Soviet Union. That`s what this is about.

The United States and our Allies and partners will emerge from this stronger, more united, more determined, and more purposeful.
