Dana Perino

They say don't even date a Republican.

This is what's going on here.

We have to, as grown-ups, do things sometimes we don't want to do, like Brian's book parties.

I don't want to go.

But you go.

But I show up because it's the right thing to do.

And I respect that.

And these people are getting paid to come here tonight.

It's like a game of hooky.

And if you're like an AOC who's running for president, or you're like an Eric Swalwell who's running for governor, don't you want to show the people back home you're in the game?

There's 10 million eyeballs on the screen tonight.

Show up.

Even if you've got a little sourpuss look on your face, at least show your voters you're in it.

Harold, in this world, if you were a Democrat still serving in Congress, it would be probably you and John Fetterman shoulder to shoulder and a lot of empty seats because you are somebody who does bring the country together.

I think it's a tradition that that you must uphold.

People have a right to do what they want, but I wouldn't do it if I remember privileged to be a member of the Senate or the House out of 10.

I think it's it's an opportunity.

to give the president a chance to be held accountable, whichever party the president's in and whichever party you might be in.

The president made promises last year.

He'll make promises this year.
