You go after people's like personal lives, which by the way, is exactly what we're seeing right now because they don't want to talk about policy.

They don't want to talk about the fact that Susan Collins has been there for 30 years.

And in those 30 years, everything got harder down here.

30 years.

She's chair of appropriations.

She likes to tell us all that she has this immense amount of power.

She brings all this money into the state of Maine.

Why, then, is housing becoming entirely unaffordable for younger folks in this state?

Why are we seeing the actual collapse of our rural health care system right now?

She has been in charge for 30 years, and she has overseen a system that has brought us to the brink of collapse.

We have talked about the Reddit post since October.

Everybody in Maine knows about it.

I talk about it.

And I talk about it very publicly.

Well, what they didn't understand is I don't really have political aspirations.

I mean, I didn't get into this because I want to be a politician.

I got into this because I believe in building a different kind of politics for working folks.

Well, I think it's mostly forgiveness.

Because when I explained it, I just pointed out that, look, I've not always been who I am today.

I mean, I was a young man who spent the bulk of my 20s in intense combat zones.
