Nevada Lt. Gov.: ‘This Has Been Our Finest Hour as a State’ and for Las Vegas

RUSH EXCERPT:
HUTCHISON: "I am lieutenant governor of the great state of Nevada. The governor was here earlier and said this has been our finest hour as a state. It’s than our finest hour is a city. It’s been our finest hour, among our finest hours as Americans. If you were taken into UMC medical center, the trauma center and you are alive, you are still alive today. You are still alive at this hour hour. The amount of skill and professionalism shown by the doctors and nurses and medical professionals, is extraordinary. Something we can be very, very proud of. The same is true if you went to spring valley hospital. If you were alive, you are still alive. Could not be prouder of those men and women who saved so many lives in Las Vegas today. Saved so many lives in Las Vegas last night. As I went into these hospital rooms throughout the day, my friends and colleagues behind me, they are true nevadans and true Americans. They heard the same story cited, the heroic efforts of ordinary people from all over the country. I will tell you how personal it is. I just came from spring valley hospital, someone seriously injured and carried away from the scene. She said if I ever had a chance to think this individual, what I please thank him. Sean topper carried her from the scene. Let him know I made it. She said he was her guardian angel. We saw and heard story after story like this. Ordinary Americans helping other ordinary Americans. It’s a great day for America. It’s a very sad day for Las Vegas, my hometown. Tragedy beyond words but this is the day when Americans helped Americans. Make it through the night. I say God bless them all."
