This is unacceptable and must be fixed. All week these troops have been protecting the Capitol. I’ll be making my office available for any guardsmen who need it and encouraging others to do the same.

I was speaking on the Senate floor defending Arizona’s election while Officer Eugene Goodman led insurrectionists away from the chamber. Forever grateful for his service to our country and his defense of democracy.

“China has nine cities bigger than New York, 27 bigger than Los Angeles, and 40 bigger than Chicago. Now think of the virus raging through these cities the way it did New York in the spring or L.A. today, with one-tenth the hospital capacity. In case you’re wondering, the median age in China is roughly the same as the U.S.”

“If I would not vote to impeach the silliest Republican in D.C., why would I vote to remove the most serious Republican (Liz Cheney) in D.C.”
