America needs to help the Biden/Harris Administration repair the damage and exit a painful chapter, sadder but wiser, rebuilding a nation committed to eternal American values. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Law enforcement officials should investigate and, if warranted, punish insurrectionists. That includes citizen Trump, who loses all immunity on January 20th. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Congress must also dig into the awful lack of security yesterday—praising those who performed heroically and holding accountable those who allowed the second attack on the Capitol in US history. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The sun is up on a new day. But there must be accountability for yesterday: The Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment against Trump. If he wants to challenge, Congress should vote him out. Congress should inform Trump that he is not welcome at the inauguration. — PolitiTweet.org

What took 34 minutes in 2017 took more than 14 hours in 2021—because, goaded by the President and abetted by some of my fellow Senators, right-wing insurrectionists stormed the Capitol in support of an effort to overturn the election results and install an unelected government. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

In today's very early hours, we certified the Electoral College results, making official what we have known since November: that at noon on January 20th, President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris will lead our nation to a healthier, fairer, more prosperous future. https://t.co/xQwSWqNjW5 — PolitiTweet.org

But more importantly—as the body that acted together to guarantee Americans the right to vote—if we object, we will become the agent of one of the most massive disenfranchisements in the history of this country. The United States Senate cannot and must not allow that to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

If we object to these electoral results, we’re saying to states: No matter how safe and secure your elections are, we’ll gladly overturn them if we don't like the results. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

After John Lewis was savagely beaten on Bloody Sunday, the US Senate came together to pass the Voting Rights Act. We should be coming together today—after more violence—to affirm the votes cast in November. Instead we’re contemplating an unprecedented act of disenfranchisement. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Tonight I spoke on the Senate floor about exactly what objecting to these electoral results means for our country: — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Not since the Burning of Washington by the British during the War of 1812 has the Capitol been attacked. The violence we saw today was an anti-American, anti-democratic assault on our nation. All must condemn it in the strongest of terms. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

My staff and I are safe right now—following the instructions of Capitol Police and praying for the safety of Capitol workers, members of the press, and all here in Washington today. This violence must end now. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

To any of my Senate colleagues looking to overturn state electoral results and undermine our democracy today: I hope you’ll take a look in the mirror and consider how you want to be remembered in our history books. Don’t sell your soul to join a toddler in his tantrum. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

The American public is telling us loud and clear that we need bold action to get out of the disaster that was 2020. Trump's horrible mismanagement of the pandemic, economic devastation, racial injustice—these challenges are crying out for solutions, and we've got to deliver. https://t.co/fWRHWK4FDq — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Senator-elect @ReverendWarnock! From the pulpit of the Ebenezer Baptist Church where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. preached, to the US Capitol as Georgia’s first African American Senator—Georgians and Americans are blessed to have Dr. Warnock as a leader. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Yes, Donald Trump is flagrantly attempting to subvert the will of the people. But whether a few spineless lemmings follow him off that cliff tomorrow or not, his temper tantrum is not going to make a difference. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will assume office in 15 days. — PolitiTweet.org

HD-2 includes parts of Prince William County and Stafford County, and HD-90 includes parts of Norfolk and Virginia Beach. If you’re not sure whether you’re registered to vote in those districts, give the @vademocrats voter hotline a call at 844-4VA-VOTE. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Virginians, if you’re registered in the 2nd or 90th districts, today is Election Day! Make sure to go vote for our great Democrats @CandiKingForHD2 and @AWGNorfolk—polls are open until 7:00 PM, and you can vote at your usual polling place. Find it here: https://t.co/UqBifNAUCb — PolitiTweet.org

The peaceful transition of power in the United States has been unbroken since the Constitution was ratified in 1787, and it's not going to stop this year. I look forward to celebrating Joe Biden's inauguration in 17 days. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Trump is trying to overthrow our democracy. To my colleagues tempted to go along: Don’t let your ambition/fear dwarf your integrity! Joe Biden will be sworn in as President on 1/20/21. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Trump is a spoiled rich kid who's talking about our democracy like it's a real estate deal. News flash to the current President: It's not a negotiation, it's an election. The voters decided—and you lost. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Senators of both parties must stand up together on January 6th to overwhelmingly defeat the overthrow attempt and then repair the damage done to the Senate and nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Your challenge is hypocritical—you voted against impeachment, saying “let the people decide,” but are now attempting to void their decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Your challenge is elitist—you assert that your preference must be respected while state results and voter preferences must be ignored. — PolitiTweet.org

Tim Kaine @timkaine

Your challenge is discriminatory—you are attempting a massive disenfranchisement of select voters in select states that voted for the Biden/Harris ticket. — PolitiTweet.org
