January The siege of the Michigan State House was effectively a state level dress rehearsal for the siege of the U.S. Capitol that Trump incited on January 6. Trump knew exactly what he was doing in inciting the January 6 mob.

Tom Paine taught us to use our common sense. The sense we have in common as citizens. If we don`t draw the line here, what`s next? What makes you think the nightmare with Donald Trump and his lawmaking and violent mobs he`s over?

These are the times that try men and women souls. These are the times that men and women sauce, the summer soldier in the sunshine patriot will shrink at this moment from the service of their cause in their country. But everyone who stands…

He attacked the first amendment. He attacked the Constitution. He betrayed his oath of office.

We would pose these preliminary questions to his lawyers, which I think are on everyone`s minds right now, in which would have asked Mr. Trump, himself, if he had chosen to come and testify about his actions and inactions when we invited…

January 6th was a culmination of the President`s actions, not an aberration from them. The insurrection was the most violent and dangerous episode so far in Donald Trump`s continuing pattern and practice of inciting violence.

Is there any political leader in this room who believes that if he`s ever allowed by the Senate to get back into the Oval Office, Donald Trump would stop inciting violence to get his way?

What makes you think the nightmare with Donald Trump and his lawmaking and violent mobs is over? If we let him get away with it, and then it comes to your state capitol, or it comes back here again, what are we going to say?

I told my daughter Tabitha. I told her how sorry I was, and I promised her it won’t be that way the next time she came back to the Capitol with me.

President Trump declared his conduct totally appropriate. So if he gets back into office and it happens again, we`ll have no one to blame but ourselves.

Donald Trump surrendered his role as commander in chief and became the insider in chief.

there's no January exception from impeachment that allows presidents free reign to commit crimes right before they leave office.

To vote otherwise, is to vote against the constitution.

This cannot be our future. This cannot be the future of America.

The January exception is an invitation to our founders' worst nightmare.

Their argument is that if you committed an impeachable offense in your last few weeks in office, you do it with constitutional impunity. This would create a brand new January exception to the Constitution.

We must ensure that Congress can continue to function in the face of the pandemic to work for them and for all Americans.

We must ensure that the Capitol is safe and secure, while remaining accessible to the public.

Members of Congress in the House they were removing their congressional pins so they wouldn`t be identified by the mob as they tried to escape the violence.

President Trump has sent here today to stop the Senate from hearing the facts of the case. They want to call the trial over before any evidence is even introduced. Their argument is that if you commit an impeachable offense in your last…

This cannot be the future of America. We cannot have presidents inciting and mobilizing mob violence against our government, and our institutions, because they refuse to accept the will of the people under the Constitution of the United…

President Trump may not know a lot about the framers but they certainly knew a lot about him.

To close, I want to say something personal about the stakes of this decision, whether President Trump can stand trial and be held to account for inciting insurrection against us.
