spoke to the senator about her experience of last week’s events, the action she feels must be taken to punish those who participated in the insurrection, and the importance of prioritizing the country’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.It’s an emotional thing, but I’m fine.

We were closely packed together, and there was no social distancing going on, because it just wasn’t possible in the space we were in.
Did you have any reaction to Trump recently calling the speech that incited the storming of the Capitol “No, it’s not! His inauguration speech was inappropriate. From the minute he took the oath of office, he’s been inappropriate. So I’m not surprised by it.

I think it’s really important that President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris lead us in that effort, as we will in the Senate as well. But we need to move forward. The first step was continuing the delegate count, and the next thing will be to have this inauguration on the Capitol and reclaim our space. Then we need to shore up our judiciary. At the same time, dozens of Americans are dying every hour, so we have to address this pandemic first and foremost.

Yes! Exactly! Why is Trump stooge still running the USPS when he still doesn't have any idea of what he's doing or supposed to be doing, he's another what I like to call 'brother in law hire' you don't know what you're doing but they put you charge because your wife says he needs a job!
