So let me just say this.

For me, there's nothing wrong with calling out an administration.

I don't care what party you are.

That's hurting our community.

That is challenging our very norms, particularly around, in this case, law and order.

They need to be challenged and they need to be called out.

So let me just say, back in September, when we were talking about the first shutdown.

Over health care.

Over health care, that's right.

I knew going into that argument, we weren't going to win it.

You knew that you were not going to win it.

You could play it out.

You could see that the Republicans were not going to support an extension of the ACA tax credits, because here's why.

Most Republicans never even voted for the ACA, so they weren't going to go out there and vote for an ACA tax credit.

So I knew it wasn't going to happen.

But here's the thing, Michael.

Here's the thing I do know.

That because this fight was taken on, many people across the country understood that we need to do a better job of health care.

So to me, this is a perfect example of where Democrats come in.

We are fighting for health care.
