MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.

Equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise.

I don't consider any Trump supporter is being a threat to the country. I do think anyone calls for the use of violence, fails to condemn the violence, where they refuse to acknowledge when an election has been won, and insists upon…

People turned out in droves to stand up for the principle that women should have the freedom to make their own decisions about their health care instead of politicians.

Women should be able to have the right to make their own decisions about their health care instead of a bunch of politicians.

We honor the will of the people. We don’t deny it.

Vote for freedom, vote for democracy because as he gave this speech in defense of democracy, Donald Trump in the very same day literally implied that he wanted to pardon insurrectionists.

Not every Republican, not even the majority Republicans are MAGA Republicans. Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because I`ve been able to work with these mainstream Republicans. But there`s no question that the…

Too much of what is happening in our country today is not normal. Donald Trump in the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens the foundations of our republic. There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated…

The soul of America is defined by the sacred proposition that all are created equal in the image of God, that all are entitled to be treated with decency, dignity, and respect, that all deserve justice in a shot at lives of prosperity and…

Democracy cannot survive when one side believes there are only two outcomes to an election. Either they win, or they were cheated. And that`s where the MAGA Republicans are today. They don`t understand what every patriotic American knows…

This is a nation that rejects violence as a political tool. We do not encourage violence. We are still in America that believes in honesty and decency, and respect for others, patriotism, liberty, justice for all, hope, possibilities. We…

And if we all do our duty -- if we do our duty in 2022 and beyond, then ages still to come will say we -- all of us here -- we kept the faith.

We can’t afford to have -- leave anyone on the sidelines. We need everyone to do their part.

Democracy must be defended, for democracy makes all these things possible.

I ran for President because I believed we were in a battle for the soul of this nation. I still believe that to be true.

I will defend our democracy with every fiber of my being, and I’m asking every American to join me.

I will not stand by and watch the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories and baseless, evidence-free claims of fraud.

Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t be pro-insurrectionist and pro-American. They’re incompatible.

There is no place for political violence in America, period, none, ever.

We must be stronger, more determined, and more committed to saving American democracy than MAGA Republicans are to destroying American democracy.

We are not powerless in the face of these threats. We are not bystanders in this ongoing attack on democracy.

MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They do not believe in the rule of law.

Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.

But as I stand here tonight, equality and democracy are under assault.
