He has, if you recall with Charlottesville, indicated that among the bigots and the racists that were there saying Jews will not replace us, there was some good people among them.
uh he he has on other occasions done things that would cause one to believe that he has some anti-semitism within him because if you'll recall when persons uh there was a young man who was working for doge and he terminated himself and the president and vice president brought him back after he made some anti-semitic statements
He talked about ethnic hunting.
He expressed some racist statements, but they brought him back on the job after these things occurred.
So what he's doing is tearing at the very
but fiber and fabric of unity within the country.
And at some point, more of us will have to take a stand against this.
I believe in peaceful protest and maybe something that we'll have to take to him in a greater extent, but not in any way that would be harmful to his physicality, but to his mentality, hopefully, such that he would change his mind and his way of behaving and sort of
associating himself with these persons who are known to be racist.
Well, I don't think they oppose me in the sense of saying things to me that I would find offensive.
I've not had one Democrat to say anything negative to me, but I don't ask for permission to do the things that I do.
I like to see myself as a liberated person, unbought, unbossed, and unafraid.
And I say to others, do what you may and I do what I must.
And I never condemn the Democrats for other Democrats for how they behave.
If they choose to sit silently and they believe that this is a best means of dealing with these issues, then I'll respect what they do.
And I trust they respect what I do.
I think it's very difficult to.
conclude that for me, staying was an option.
For me, it just wasn't an option.
And I knew, or at least I concluded that the consequences for me would be to exit the chamber because I would not stay and sit through the president saying some ugly things about me.
