@kbeninato
Well done. I wanted to get that down. I believe he went through the whole alphabet.
@ThePsyOfLife He did! It was too fast to type the whole thing, but I'd frame a copy.

@kbeninato
Oh, yeah. It was beautiful.

I'll make a promise to you. If I find a transcript of the speech, I'll get it to you.

@ThePsyOfLife

Yes, please! A transcript would be lovely 😊

@kbeninato

@Catmama
If my calculations are correct, you should be able to find my transcription here.

@[email protected] Normalcy over negativity, opportunity over obstruction, people over politics, quality of life issues over QAnon, reason over racism, substance over slander, triumph over tyranny, understanding over ugliness, voting rights over voting suppression, working families over the well-connected, xenial over xenophobia, yes we can over you can't do it, and zealous representation over zero-sum confrontation. There it is. Transcribed.

@smlx4 @kbeninato
That was my favorite part of the speech, watching Pelosi choke up, hearing his well-crafted praise of her and the last Congress.
@kbeninato GQP are dirt nothing conservative about enemies of America
@kbeninato You missed a few there, all the letters of the alphabet were represented...
@kbeninato OK, now I can see how he went from A to Z πŸ˜†
