"Today is the 212th birthday of Abraham Lincoln.

As we honor the life and legacy of this great Illinoisan, it is hard to forget the events that took place in the Capitol on January 6. One terrible image, in particular, comes to mind."

"Even at the height of the Civil War, Confederate flags never made their way into our Capitol.

How would Pres. Lincoln react to news that a Republican President had sent a mob, waving flags of the Confederacy, to storm our Capitol & overturn the results of an election?"

"I'll be thinking about President Lincoln today as I return to the Senate floor for the fourth day of this second impeachment trial of Donald Trump.

And I will strive--as I do every day--to honor his legacy in my duties representing the Land of Lincoln."
