Mitch McConnell should be doing his job by bringing us together so we can do our jobs and meet the challenge of this virus and get this economy in a place that people can prosper again, and they have simply dropped their efforts since…

If the CDC had been in charge and done the briefings and based on science and then the president of the United States, imagine if he'd worn a mask back in March and talked to the public as adults, tens and tens and tens of thousands of…

Of course not. I like what you said about it. I like what Ben said, is it incompetence or is it malevolence? I don't know which it is. It's obviously both.

The president's ego or the prime minister's ego has not got in the way. They have had out front and center their version of the CDC or public health department talking to the public, modeling what kind of behavior we should have all do…

Look at the convention this week. Look at their convention, all about Trump, nothing about accomplishments.

Looks like a South Dakota motorcycle rally. But it really is -- I mean, it's -- there's -- I mean, their whole convention this week has been nothing about accomplishment, and all about fear, trying to scare people about Joe Biden and…

It's always about his ego. It's always about him.

I think that's clearly what he's trying to do.

Imagine, Joy, if Trump had worn a mask and talked about social distancing, and had the CDC doing this, doing the news conferences since March. There would be tens of thousands of Americans still living that wouldn't have been killed.

Their whole convention this week has been nothing about accomplishment, and all about fear, trying to scare people about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Democrats.

It is absolutely despicable that the president would call for a boycott of an American company based in Akron that employs thousands of U.S. workers.

And Trump and McConnell fiddle while the country burns. And it's just a terrible, terrible situation that they clearly - I mean we know Trump has no empathy. McConnell doesn't either and nor does his Republican Caucus, who should have told…

McConnell has cut off the $600, as Trump has, has no interest in helping with rental assistance, no interest in helping local governments, no interest in sending money to schools, so that they can open safely.

It's the reason that the 35 percent of Americans that support President Trump love President Trump, because he plays to the anger and fear and resentment and often to racism of not all but some of his supporters.

Yes, I can believe this President is a racist.

He breaks all rules. He may have his - he may do his Convention acceptance speech at the White House. I mean he - the rules don't matter. Institutions don't matter.

I don't think he would win Ohio, in large part, because Joe Biden and now his running mate, are increasingly understand that you campaign through the eyes of workers, you govern through the eyes of workers.

We need to focus and get this money out the door to families who are unemployed and to keep them in their homes and to get -- have enough money to open schools safely.

They're OK with big tax cuts for rich people at the country club.

It's both cruel, but it's also stupid policy.

He finally offers an anemic proposal that did (INAUDIBLE) for everybody.

It's an ugly tweet. It's an ugly time. It's an ugly Senate.

Well, I would like to sort of explain the details, but if the time comes out of your time, I would be glad to.

I am not yielding now, Senator Cotton. I know you always want to do Trump's--the President's bidding. I have the floor, and I will keep the floor. The fact is, we were in negotiations with Speaker Pelosi, I assume with Leader McCarthy. In…

I thank the Senator from Illinois. Yes. Sure, we have. If we want to get something done, we get something done. We find a way, through unanimous consent, for all of us to agree. Who can say that this is anything but a national crisis? Are…
