"My mind and my imagination and my heart had been arrested by the heartbeat of children who should not lose their food and who should not lose healthcare in order to give wealthy people a tax cut," he said, suggesting the same was true with Republicans’ latest budget bill.

"Here I am eight years later, having transformed my agitation into legislation."

"I'm here today because I still know how to agitate – I still know how to protest. I'm not a senator who used to be a pastor. I'm a pastor in the Senate."
