The full text of Senator Chuck Schumer’s remarks can be found here. It’s also available to watch on YouTube. I recommend doing so at your soonest convenience. It’s lengthy but it is a must-watch address. The speech was preceded by an op-ed that appeared this morning in The New York Times.

I knew the speech was going to happen this morning but unfortunately, MSNBC was not covering it live. They showed clips and that’s the extent of it. I wish they aired it in its entirety but at least it has a home on YouTube and elsewhere for people to watch and they should watch. I’m pasting some excerpts below with my own thoughts along with Senator Mitch McConnell’s reaction.
