There was nothing racial about my comments, nothing whatsoever. This isn`t about racist about riots.

On January 6, I never felt threatened, because I didn`t. I knew those are people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break a law. And so I wasn`t concerned. Now, had the tables been turned…

Had I not forced that 11 hour reading, and I sat on the floor of the Senate, I listened to the entire 11 hours, what we would have been doing is we would have gone into vote-a-rama last night, no time during the bill, no time to really…

I don`t want to sound like a leftist, but I`m going to resist, OK. So, the first way I`m going to resist is I`m going to go down and object to the waving of the reading of the bill. I will make them read their 600 or 700-page bill.

Ron Johnson -- very simply, I fall back the terrible Republican Senator from Wisconsin Ron Johnson, who, trying to make a point, had the Senate clerks spend -- waste 12 hours reading the entire text of the bill.

Why in the world would the Biden administration rescind such a common-sense, good government transparency effort?

Senator Ron Johnson... pushed the preposterous claim that the insurrection was really the work of fake Trump supporters disguised as real ones.

But when the Government comes in and mandates a cost structure, a wage, and puts a smaller competitor out of business, that is what concerns many of us.

I think those of us on this side of the aisle are certainly concerned about the smaller mom-and-pop shops that also provide products and services in a way that consumers value as well.

A very few didn`t share the jovial friendly earnest demeanor of the great majority. Some obviously didn`t fit in. And he describes four different types of people, plainclothes militants, agents provocateurs, fake Trump protesters, and…

When he said the mood of the crowd was positive, and festive.

I appreciate the Chair's comments about the bipartisan/nonpartisan investigation here seeking out the truth.

I would urge anybody that criticized me for entering an eyewitness account into the record last week to please read the eyewitness account to take a look at actually what the truth is.

I find the videos... sickening, the violence reprehensible, the racial slurs repugnant.
