SCHIFF: “Officer, thank you. I believe in this country and I believe in it because of people like you who understand what the flag means and what our Constitution means and risk their lives to defend it. I’d like to thank, as Amanda Gorman so eloquently said, that we’re not broken we’re just unfinished. Because if we’re no longer committed to a peaceful transfer of power after our elections, if our side doesn’t win, then God help us. If we deem elections illegitimate merely because they don’t go our way, rather than trying to do better the next time, then so help us. And if we’re so driven by bigotry and hate that we attack our fellow citizens as traitors if they were born in another country or they don’t look like us, God help us. But I have faith because of folks like you. And I didn’t expect this would be quite so much — but it must be an Adam thing today. But I’m so grateful to all of you. And with that, Mr. Chairman, I field back.”
