But it shouldn’t be about the time, it should be about what was said. F’ing Dems and their inability to discern what is important. The time should be the last thing anyone talks about.

It beats the record of Strom who was a racist pile of poop human being. The record is now held on the right side of history. It also inspired and reinvigorated literally millions of democrats who watched him! ANYTHING is better than the NOTHING of Schumer. Leadership change!
