.@senatemajldr speaking from the Senate floor for the second time today: "I want to say to the American people: The United States Senate will not be intimidated. We will not be kept out of this chamber by thugs, mobs or threats. We will not bow to lawlessness or intimidation."
.@senatemajldr: "The United States and the United States Congress have faced down much greater threats than the unhinged crowd we saw today. We've never been deterred before, and we'll be not deterred today. They tried to disrupt our democracy; they failed. They failed."
.@senatemajldr: "Our nation was founded precisely so that the free choice of the American people is what shapes our self-government and determines the destiny of our nation."
.@senatemajldr concludes: "Criminal behavior will never dominate the United States Congress. This institution is resilient. Our democratic republic is strong. The American people deserve nothing less."
