EXCERPT:
KINZINGER: "This is very important, because what you’re actually going to see right now, and you’re starting to see a little bit on the Republican side, is trying to intimidate those around Joe Biden from telling the truth about Donald Trump. Look, anybody that is rational and sane knows when you say things like, 'We have to stop Donald Trump' or 'Donald Trump is a threat to democracy,' that we are talking about dealing with that in the political context, not in a violent context. And in case there's anybody that thinks it’s a violent context, let’s make it very clear now: we are talking about a political context. But what we can't do, and this is what I get worried about, is that we're gonna be intimidated away from telling the American people the truth, which is Donald Trump truly is a threat to democracy in this country —
(Cheering and Applause)
— and we have to stop that, but we stop it at the ballot box."
