4/ And for the next four years, he worked with me to try to advance the cause of anti-gun violence. But when I decided to launch a filibuster after the Orlando shooting, I was nervous, because I was going to grind the Senate to a halt. And I hadn't told Harry - my leader. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ Harry was old school. His convictions mattered more than his politics. If something was right, he was ready to risk everything. So after Sandy Hook - he took a big risk. He broke w the NRA and backed a background checks bill the NRA hated. He put it on the floor for a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

5/ Harry didn't like grandstanding, and a filibuster is the ultimate "look at me" move. Harry preferred exercising power quietly. Forcefully but quietly. But I had no other options, so right before I went to the floor, I called Harry. — PolitiTweet.org
