“--you know, some 16 or so hours ago, and you would be proud of me because she is one of these voices who comes to me and says: Hey, Cory. Let's bring people together. I know that the Presiding Officer is new here, but he has the same spirit of trying to bring people together. This might be like the third time I have seen him in the chair over the last hours--17 hours. Thank you, sir. But you whisper in my ear all the time, like we have got to find a way to do this together. We have got to find a way to put more ``indivisible'' into ``one nation under God.'' So I hope that you would be proud because I told my staff, who prepared for days--they spent days preparing all these sections, from farming to the environment and all the ways that Donald Trump is betraying his promises, betraying America, driving up costs, wrecking our economy, endangering us globally and here at home, and turning his back on a lot of our values, all while disrespecting this document more than any President I have seen. But I wanted to make sure--I told the instructions to my staff to pull from all the Republicans you can. We want to use the Wall Street Journal. We want to use the Cato Institute. We want to bring this together because why we are standing up here is not to talk about left or right; we are talking about what is right or wrong. I do not want to talk about this being a Democratic moment; it is a moral moment.…”
