but you know, when you're sitting next to john lewis and giving those remarks, i don't think he asked when he did a lot of the things that resulted in him getting beaten and severely injured. i don't think he stopped and asked, is this breaking norms or is this politics or is this safe? he did it anyway. and anything that i've done pales in comparison, is not even a shadow of the greatness of which i sat next to and which you and i both as children born in the post civil rights era have inherited. so you know, be what may, this is where i stand, this is what i did. i'll accept the consequences. and if it chills relationships in the senate, i understand that. i respect my colleagues, but this is one of those moments in american history, with all that's going on in police-community relations, with all that's going on with the continued violence against lgbt americans, against women, when senate sessions has spoken out against the violence against women's act, spoken out against the matthew shepard act, spoken out against the justice department's effort to hold police departments account
