Sen. Alex Padilla: ‘The Whole World Has Been Witnessing [Trump’s] State of Mind for Four Years’

EXCERPT:

PADILLA: "Again, the whole world has been witnessing his state of mind for four years. And on January 6th, we saw him take the stage and rile up the mob. He said he would be with them and to show strength, the stop the steal conspiracy theory. And sorry, not sorry for taking this a little personal, this big lie about stealing the election started even before he was sworn in as president in 2016, when he attacked the integrity of the elections in California and other states. So we’ve been battling the lies and conspiracy theories for years and sadly, you know, five people lost their lives as a result of insurrection on January 6th. There has to be accountability. We can’t unite as a nation and move forward without letting everybody know, across the political spectrum, there are consequences when you break the law."
