“That’s the Democratic Party that has a manifesto and a mantra. They have a radical set of beliefs. And they are clearly those of the Democrat nominee in Michigan.”

Sen. Barrasso’s remarks as delivered:
“Today’s Democrat Party has been taken over by extremists. It’s happening all across the country. Extremists are winning Democrat primaries all across the country from East to West.
“The Minority Leader spoke a little earlier today. He seems to be very happy about it. Just yesterday, when talking to the press, the Minority Leader said this. He said, these extreme candidates, he said, make their party ‘stronger.’ Senator Schumer may be thrilled with the direction that his party is taking. And now look what happened last night in Michigan.
“And now look what happened last night in Michigan. The Democrat candidate for Senate winning the primary yesterday in Michigan is truly an extremist. Radical, extreme, dangerous, and in my opinion, scary. He’s been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders. And just recently he hit the campaign trail with a left-wing activist – a political activist who blamed 9/11 – we’re almost near the twenty-fifth anniversary of the attacks on 9/11 in the United States of America – blamed those attacks on America and the American people.
“That’s the Democratic Party that has a manifesto and a mantra. They have a radical set of beliefs. And they are clearly those of the Democrat nominee in Michigan.
“The driving forces in the Democrat Party today want to abolish prisons. The driving force in the Democrat Party today has endorsed any and all efforts to release dangerous prisoners from the jails onto the streets of communities all across the country.
“The driving force in the Democrat Party is calling to defund the police. The driving force in the Democrat Party is calling to eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement in this country. They don’t want borders. Don’t think we ought to have borders. They want ICE completely eliminated.
“Democrats want to go back to the dangerous Biden years when it came to protecting our borders and 10 million illegal immigrants flooded into this country. The Democrats want millions and millions more to come into America.
“And what do they want to do in terms of funding for these things? Well, the Democrats want to have hardworking taxpayers pay for healthcare for all the illegal immigrants who come here. You know, radical ideas like that were once the fringe of the Democrat Party. No longer. No, no. That fringe now controls the Democrat Party.
“As a senior Senator, who is a Democrat, said – who sits right over there – said, it’s a sign the Democrat Party is ‘alive and well.’ Senator Schumer said yesterday it makes their party ‘stronger.’ It doesn’t make America stronger. It makes America weaker. It makes America more vulnerable. That’s where we are today.
“Democrats seem willing to tear up the Constitution and tear down America. You listen to some of these candidates; it sounds like they hate America. They want America to fail. That seems to be what they’re aiming for.
“Republicans are not going to allow that to happen. No, we’re going to continue to fight the extremists. We’re going to continue to fight for freedom, for liberty, and continued American greatness.”
