The Save America Act—FINALLY on the Floor of the Senate

Published | Video Starts at 26:27

I don't think I messed up my hair, but I at least loosened the tie and tried to look a little more disheveled after 21 hours, you know, you shouldn't look like you're just, just popping out of bed. That is exhaust. I didn't realize that you could have your phone out during the filibuster. That's actually interesting. You're not supposed to. So technically, the Senate rules, you're not allowed to have electronics on the Senate floor. Everyone violates that rule. So everyone has their phone. (26:27–26:31)

CLAIM

Suggests that having a phone out during a filibuster is allowed or possible.
