Video transcription

LISA MURKOWSKI: I know what I feel in the Senate when I hear the votes. I knew what it meant to run down the aisle with my colleagues. I was not fully aware of everything that was happening in the building. And so if you see that all the pieces come together, the – only the total awareness of the extent of this, the threat, not only to us as human beings, as legislators, but the threat to – for the institution and what Congress represents it’s disturbing. Very disturbing.

I do not see how after the American public sees the full story set out here, not just in one snippet on this day and another about it, but in this whole – this whole scenario set out before us, I just- – I do not see how Donald Trump can be re-elected to the presidency.

CHUCK SCHUMER: It was intestinal. The bravery of our police officers is incredible. It was compelling. And I just hope our Republican colleagues have an open mind if they want to see what we saw today. The drivers just made an overwhelmingly convincing case for me.
