The idea that you get tagged because you're a certain religion for being for some other country seems like an attack.

I find the – I mean, look, I can't speak to his background.

I could just say I would find the question offensive because the idea that you're – for your religion, essentially, in my view, you're getting asked a question like that.

But I was asked a lot of questions.

This is a very, very tough process to go through.

I never got asked that one.

I don't know about other people.

I've been challenged with my weight for, you know, most of my life, honestly.

And so, you know, the idea and I have succeeded and failed.

I mean, like a lot of people, you know, you lose weight, you gain weight over the course of your life.

I realize that other people want to make this about something that it's not.

I do not think that it's something that people should be revealing about them.

Because your doctor recommends things for different reasons, right?

I mean, someone who's taking a GLP-1 could be someone who needs to lose weight because they have heart disease.

And so I just think it's a pretty hyper-personal question.

I don't want to answer it because I don't want to—

make it as if this is okay for people to be asking one another.

But I do think people should be talking to their doctors and making those decisions with their doctors.

I'm very proud of my state.

I really am.
