Focusing on rushing through a nominee to the United States Supreme Court rather than doing everything we can to work across the aisle to craft a solution. To the problems, the crises facing our nation. Tens of millions of americans, unemployed. Hundreds of thousands of businesses permanentlylo closed. Schools all over the country either not yet open or just barely opened, and thousands upon thousands of americans died alone in pain, and comforted by family, uncertain of how they came to be in this place and cared for by their country. Eight. 5million infected 220,000 or more dead. We are in the middle of a tragic pandemic and a recession made worse by our presence bungled mishandling of the pandemic, and instead of coming together to provide the reliefteng that all states d all people are calling for, we are doing this. We are doing this. Instead, my republican colleagues are walking over dangerous precipice doing something according to graham was unthinkable just two years ago , in th
Fefederal. Groups like antifa and black lives matter working with the radical dems, the leftwing national media, Corporate America and even Big Technology trying to push their messages, and they support their destruction of almost anyone who defies them, opposes their views. Their claims of systemic racism, the toppling and vandalizing of statues, their looting in the streets and all of it an attempt to force the American People to accept their violence, their upending of the nation. Anyone that doesnt comply, it seems, risks being called a racist, being fired from their jobs, their lives ruined. Democrat leaders have already allowed these groups or encouraged these groups to handcuff, to neutralize their Police Departments. Today some of those same democratic leaders, like the city council in seattle, said quote demonstrations and advocacy are part of how people in america disrupt the status quo. And meaningfully move government towards social change. Well, senator dick durbin calls i

Liquidity in this time of recession and the need for support for the unemployment the unemployed, with the fact that we may be hitting 4 trillion in a deficit and in some instances people are receiving more money by staying home and going out to work and yet the whole issue has been weaponized by the left . Is there any way out of that conundrum . Senator cotton i think its important that we remember the differences between march when we unanimously passed cares act and where we are now. In march we still knew virtually nothing about this virus and the course it was going to take in our country and the impact it would have on our economy. And on the jobs of our workers. And in fact virtually the entire country was locked down for much of march and april. So you had millions and millions of americans who were out of work, through no fault of their own.

As president is to protect the American People, and today im taking action to fulfill that sacred obligation. In recent weeks, there has been a radical movement to defund, dismantle, and dissolve our Police Departments.
