Political Quotes

“Yesterday, we had a Judiciary Committee meeting on the rise of white nationalism and the concerns it should pose to our country. It was a pertinent meeting, and I was shocked to hear some of the remarks of my colleagues on the Republican side who still have not accepted the fact that what happened on January 6 was an attack on our Constitution that they take an oath to and an attack on our country. They seem to think it was just a demonstration, a small, polite demonstration of 200 people; that it was, some said, people other than Trump people posing as Trump people. Those were Trump people. They wore Trump hats. They had Trump flags. They hollered ``Trump.'' They were there to stop the steal for Trump. America faced a great traumatic experience, as I did being in this Chamber on January 6, and I ask my Republican colleagues to accept it, accept the fact that it was a big lie, and Joe Biden is the properly, lawfully elected President of the United States. ____________________”
