It started out as a routine moment on the Senate floor — until one lawmaker delivered a slip so sharp it felt like poetic payback for years of Donald Trump’s name-calling. The comment wasn’t planned, but it landed with surgical precision, leaving viewers stunned as the former president’s own tactics seemed to boomerang right back at him.

Merkley’s speech stretched for 22 hours and 37 minutes, starting at 6:21 p.m. on Tuesday and running until 4:58 p.m. Wednesday, according to CBS News.
