Ruben Gallego: “I was here on the floor of January 6th on the House side…”

“And now I'll turn it over to my friend and colleague from my neighboring state of Arizona, Senator Ruben Gallego. Thank you. Thank you. A swing state. Well, thank you everyone, for being here. And unfortunately, I was here on the floor of January 6th on the House side, trying to protect Arizona's electoral decision, which was being contested by Republicans and by Donald Trump. Without any proof, obviously, of electoral fraud. And then the violence that came upon us. And I was one of the last members of Congress to leave the floor that day, even before that.” (19:49–20:02)
