Back in those days on Twitter, I used to live on Twitter. Did so much back in the good days. Got on it early. Used to tell my constituents, tweet me things and I'll address them.

Anyway, I remember I get to the Senate and I'm still living on Twitter, doing a lot on Twitter. And but I one of the things I used to love doing is taking a troll, somebody yelling at me and just saying, look, I don't agree with what you're saying, but I love you.

I said back saying, hey, respect your right to your own opinion. I wish you the best that I just something really nice back to him. I'm walking through my front office and they say my staff loves. No, no. I'd love to take the phones when they're taking constituent calls. People won't expect to get their senator. And my staff said, you want to take this? And I got on the phone.

And before you know it, we have a really great constructive conversation.
