This is an attack on free speech. If this happened to one of our Republican colleagues, they'd want us to speak out. And they'd be right. Because When a president tries to jail senators for speaking their minds just because he disagrees with them, that is not a Democrat or Republican problem. It is a constitutional crisis of the highest order. It's an assault on everyone who cares about free speech, who cares about basic freedoms, who cares about how our democracy has functioned for over for close to 250 years. (07:10–07:24)
