He called on lawmakers to get the country back to work and deliver on the promise of COVID relief. "This trial is about far more than President Trump, it is about silencing and banning the speech the Majority does not agree with. It is about canceling 75 million Trump voters and criminalizing political viewpoints. That is what this trial is really about...It asks for constitutional cancel culture to take over in the United States Senate. Are we going to allow canceling and banning and silencing to be sanctioned in this body? Castor says in closing. close
