That's exactly about the urgency motion. The urgency motion is about holding people accountable for things that they say in the chamber and that's all that we are asking—that Senator Hanson be held accountable for what she has said—and this chamber is not willing to do that. I urge the chamber and you as the President of this chamber to ask Senator Hanson to withdraw because that is how we set the standard in this place—by holding people accountable for what comes out of their mouths, especially language which is a racial slur.
