To make sure that we are being their voice and speaking out for them.
And part of that has to be asking questions.
That part of that has to be demanding accountability.
That has to be getting information so we can do the best job possible.
It is unacceptable that a United States senator in his own home state, elected by millions of people, went to ask a question for his constituents to get an answer
and was brutally thrown to the ground and handcuffed.
That is wrong.
And I cannot believe that we don't have senators on both sides of the aisle calling this out as outrageous.
This is what a democracy is about, Mr. President.
Mr. President, it is about us coming to the United States Senate, speaking out, asking questions, getting information so we can be their voice.
What happens when that voice is stifled?
What happens when that voice is thrown to the floor and handcuffed?
Our democracy is lost.
Mr. President, I have been here for more than 32 years.
I have come to this floor often.
to speak out, to be angry, to be a voice for my people, I have never come this close to having tears in my eyes as I speak to both sides of this aisle about this horrendous incident that occurred.
We are a democracy, but we can lose that democracy.
It can be gone unless all of us speak out
and forcibly reject what happened to a United States Senator and to send the message that in this democracy, it is just, it is right, it is part of our responsibility to speak up, to ask questions, and to be able to have the knowledge we need to represent the people that we come here for.
We use our voices, Mr. President.
