Senator Bennet goes to the floor, spits anger filled truth

[Tahnit]

Longer version here. https://youtu.be/1LlCn-HZDuY

Holy shit. Everything this senator says is 100% true. Listen to the longer version on YouTube. He really describes what is happening to our country. I've never seen him this pissed off.

 

[Rhomega]

For convenience:

 

[Radd Redd]

That's some good stuff bringing up the other shutdown as well.

 

[OnanieBomb]

Oh, he's a Dem...for a moment I thought we were finally seeing a Republican come to their senses.

 

[peppermints]

More folks need to start referring to it as a medieval wall.. very fitting and demeaning.

 

[kris.]

Wow, I'm a big fan of Ted Cruz getting fucking ethered with facts.

 

[Strike]

This guy is talking about someone who still manages to support a president after he publicly disparaged his wife and father. You'll see hell freeze over before that ever happens.

 

[Moist_Owlet]

Facts mean little to repubs and their supporters unfortunately. As long as they get to do some cruelty and racism it doesn't matter to the GOP.

 

[Saganator]

That's my senator!

 

[_ifigured]

Bennet is spot on. The ignoramuses in the freedom caucus and their pathetic fanbase has turned our government and our nation into a joke. This infection needs to be exorcised and eviscerated.

 

[Kongroo]

I loved seeing him bring up the past shut down.

Ted Cruz is such a piece of slimy shit.

 

[JaseMath]

Fuck yeah! This is why I voted for you Michael Bennet!

 

[meow]

This guy is really spitting fire. Only 7 minutes in but good stuff so far.

Ah, yes. Debasing your family to own the libs.

Damn, that gave me goosebumps.

This.

That said, we need more passionate democrats like Michael Bennet spitting fire.

 

[Oceanwind]

Yes! That's my Senator! So glad I voted for him!

 

[thesoapster]

Fuckin' A, man.

 

[BringBackSonics]

Wow. He nailed him good with the previous shut down.

 

[Brinbe]

Amazing. More senators need to follow his lead

 

[Deleted member 1248]

His voice is cracking from screaming, he's so angry.

 

[Fishtank]

Damn, that gave me goosebumps.

I still have them.

 

[RBH]

Hell fucking yeah

 

[hateradio]

Why do we even have to appease the President and his lackeys. We really needed to flip both houses.

Makes me wonder just how his family views him. If I EVER endorsed a man who called my wife hideous, I'm pretty sure she'd change the locks on me.

 

[ListeningGarden]

Every single one of these 25 minutes should be rolling on every news station nonstop. Nothing but hard, heavy truths.

 

[DrForester]

Bennett has been such a wishy-washy senator, and this is the first time I can remember him going all in on something. Good for him.

 

[Dartastic]

I'm in the middle of this speech now. It's really great.

 

[Bosh]

I don't normally adventure into EctEra but this video (just got through the longer clip) was well worth listening to. I don't know anything else about Senator Bennet but he nailed the head on this and other issues in USA

 

[Tabaxi]

I'm getting the feeling that a lot of Democratic politicians are absolutely done with the GOP's shit.

 

[djplaeskool]

"We are actually having our deficits shooting through the roof while unemployment is falling...these are the people who called Barack Obama a bolshevik and a socialist."

Click to shrink...

Fucking truth.

 

[Saganator]

Recommend watching the full version

 

[-JD-]

Worth it for "that rinkydink wall he's building".

edit: Wow, he went all in, now that I've watched almost the full 25 minutes.

 

[Raguel]

God damn. This is life. Fuck Cruz, little god damn weasel.

 

[Fiction]

Bright young man.
Yo, who the eff is this?

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Wowza, that full speech on YouTube is worth the watch, taking on "The Freedom Caucus"

 

[bluepolicebox]

The long version of this speech is absolutely worth listening to. Well done, Senator.

 

[Deleted member 36543]

Wow love that energy. The time is now to excommunicate the GOP and their ways.

 

[VirtuaModel]

When I saw the full thing was almost 25 minutes I hesitated, but after hearing him talk I was enthralled and watched the whole thing.

 

[Allard]

This is the kind of stuff I want to see of more from Senate Dems. The GOP and especially a large portion of the senate GOP are shameless, but they also know a losing position and 22 GOP senators are up for reelection in 2020. Rake them through the coals endlessly over the stupidity that is shutting down the government for a wall already based on a broken promise (mexixco paying for it). Get Angry about it.

 

[Guy.brush]

Burn! Someone call the firefighters.

 

[Linkura]

Lmao Doug Jones's expressions.

 

[KtotheRoc]

This is 100% amazing! Fuck Ted Cruz! Slimy piece of shit deserves to get raked over the coals every day for the rest of his life!

 

[Midramble]

I gotta know what people responded to this. That's some stirring stuff but I feel that too many people in that room have their fingers in their ears screaming lalalala

Seriously. This is the bare minimum I want to see. Honestly, lot of these GOP sycophants need to get fucking clocked right on the senate floor and literally thrown out of the building as the traitorous and dangerous little shits that they are, but I'll settle for anything in-between.

That, plus this sort of thing will be easy for Fox, et al to edit into a short clip labeled "HYSTERICAL DEMS LOSE CONTROL ON FLOOR" or some such.

Well, fuck them. We just gotta be louder for longer.

She gave Ted her blessing. She came to him and said "Ted honey, its alright. Think of all the minorities we can hurt with Trump as president."

 

[Lifendz]

This dude has the "dad voice" down pat. Made me whip my head towards the screen to give him my absolute attention. Good on him. Oh yeah, fuck Ted Cruz.

Republicans love unhinged screaming from white men. See their response to the kavanaugh hearing.
