00:42Let's be crystal clear.
00:44The President of the United States is calling for the execution of elected officials.
00:51This is an outright threat, and it's deadly serious.
00:57We have already seen what happens when Donald Trump tells his followers that his political
01:01opponents are enemies of the state.
01:04Every time Donald Trump posts things like this, he makes political violence more likely.
01:09None of us should tolerate this kind of behavior.
01:12We all remember what January 6th was like.
01:15We lived through January 6th.
01:17We have lived through the assassination and attempted assassinations this year.
01:23We have members whose families have had to flee their homes.
01:27When Donald Trump uses the language of execution and treason, some of his supporters may very
01:34well listen.
01:36He is lighting a match in a country soaked with political gasoline.
01:41Every senator, every representative, every American, regardless of party, should condemn this immediately
01:50and without qualification.
01:53Because if we don't draw a line here, there is no line left to draw.
01:57Who would have thought the President of the United States saying his opponent should be hanged?
02:06It's outrageous.
02:08No President has ever stooped as low as Donald Trump.
02:11None.
02:13He has made political violence a feature of his politics.
02:17And if we don't draw a line here, there is no line left to draw.
02:23And yet today, he crossed yet another line that no democracy can afford to tolerate.
02:28He must be condemned, forcefully, loudly, and without excuses, before someone takes his words
02:35as permission to do the unthinkable.
02:39Anything less enables the flames of hatred to grow and spread.
