Amy Klobuchar: “I first want to say a few words about the Senator from Massachusetts and her passion and what she has brought to this…”

“I first want to say a few words about the Senator from Massachusetts and her passion and what she has brought to this Chamber. While I know she has not been allowed to complete her remarks today, I know that will not silence her, and we look forward to hearing from her tomorrow and many days in the future on so many topics. I also wanted to say something about my friend from Utah. We have worked together on so many bills. I have seen firsthand that he means what he says about treating this Chamber with the dignity that we all deserve and that the American people deserve. Also, I was especially impressed by the words from the Senator from Florida. When I see the majority leader and the Democratic leader over there talking in the corner now, I think that is a good sign, because I have never seen a time where the Senate is more important, as the Senator from Florida was mentioning. This is a moment in time where the Senate will not just be a check and balance, but it is also a place for compromise. The one issue where I would differ slightly with my friend and colleague from Utah is that this isn't just about Democrats responding with surprise or anger to the election of a new President.…”
