Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., launched into a marathon overnight speech railing against President Donald Trump.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m holding the Senate floor to protest Trump\u2019s grave threats to democracy. We cannot pretend this is normal,” Merkley wrote on Tuesday night on X.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By 6:00 a.m. AT Wednesday morning, nearly 12 hours after the post, the senator was still continuing his speech.<\/p>\n

Merkley later added that he was protesting against the president “dragging us further into authoritarianism.”<\/p>\n

5 TIMES DEMOCRATS BLASTED ICE WITH HARSH RHETORIC<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer<\/a>, D-N.Y., praised Merkley, thanking him “for standing up for the American people.” Several other Democrats joined in applauding the senator, including Sens. Andy Kim, D-N.J., Tina Smith, D-Minn., and Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Trump’s plan is to replace the government by and for the people with government by and for the powerful,” Merkley remarked during his speech.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the speech, Merkley hurled a wide array of accusations against Trump and his administration, as well as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He also claimed that the government was trying to “fake a riot” outside an ICE facility in Portland, Ore., in order to expand its own power.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At one point, Merkley spoke specifically about a protester who was hit with pepper spray during an anti-ICE protest<\/a>. The senator said that the woman was asked to get out of ICE agents’ way and complied but was still sprayed with the riot control substance.<\/p>\n

Mekley has held similar marathon speeches before. In 2017, he spoke for 15 hours and 28 minutes against the nomination of now-Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.<\/p>\n
