You do not resort to violence. We should be able to agree to disagree. But you have breached the Capitol grounds. You have overcome Capitol Hill police. We've had police officers that have been hurt.

I told that young man, I said, what you are doing is un American, and we should be better than this. (05:27–05:30)
