At a town hall in Golden, Co. tonight - Sen. Michael Bennet came pretty darn close to calling for Sen. Schumer to step down from leadership. "It's always better to examine whether folks are in the right place, and we're certainly going to have that conversation."
Netanyahu's speech has ended. Standing ovation from both sides of the aisle. There were small chants of protests from the fringes of the chamber but they were barely audible.
