“I’ll show you how we got here. President Donald J. Trump ran out of non-violent options to maintain power."
"President Trump wasn’t just coming for one person, or two, or democrats like me...He was coming for all of us—just as the mob did as his direction."
"President Trump’s actions, time and time again, made clear that he would do anything and pressure anyone if it meant overturning the election results."
“We watched President Trump use any means necessary to pursue this aim, feverishly grasping at straws to retain his hold on the Presidency. But all his efforts prior to January 6 kept failing."
"I began today by raising the question of how we got here—what you saw was a man so desperate to cling to power that he tried everything he could to keep it. And when he ran out of non-violent measures, he turned to the violent mob attacked your senate chamber on January 6."
"As you cast your vote, I hope each of you will think of the bravery of all these people who said no to Trump because they believed that this was not right, that this is not America."
