because people vote that way. i did want to ask, you wrote this powerful op-ed, i re-read it again, about the anniversary of january 6th. and you were there that day, you were so heroic that day, and you outline a lot of what happened. and recently this weekend, donald trump repeated the lie that those convicted for their involvement are hostages. he used the term hostages. and i just wanted to know, what you thought of that, or what your response was, when you heard him say that? well, he is a disgrace, let s put it this way. we ve known that for a long time. he is disrespect for the congress, for the capital and the rest has been clear. he came to the capitol and gave a presidential of medal of freedom to one of his thug friends, right there this is, he talked politics on the floor of the house, we don t do that, it s about policy. and in any event, that s not even worrying so much about what he said. except, that is what he says he
