Quorum call quorum call mr. Sanders madam president. The presiding officer the senator from vermont is recognized. Sorry. Mr. Sanders thank you. Madam president , since last week the senate has been quote, unquote, debating the presiding officer senator, were in a quorum call. Mr. Sanders i would ask that the quorum call be vitiated. The presiding officer without objection. Mr. Sanders madam president , since last week, the senate ostensibly one of the great deliberative bodies in the world, supposedly, has been quote, unquote, debating the 740 billion National Defense authorization act.

He was a committed and devoted abolitionist who funded education for freed African Americans, who gave them jobs, and they defaced his statue. Even more amazing, in boston the shaw memorial was defaced. The shaw memorial honors the 54th massachusetts regiment, the first African American regiment formed after the emancipation proclamation. Whose braver and battle on behalf of the union cause was memorialized in the movie glory. Yet it was defaced by these mobs. Not just our history. Its pop culture and entertainment too.
