Is he still your favorite president of all time? Well, I think the president words are unfortunate, but this is the behavior that unfortunately America is used to seeing from Donald Trump. I've talked a lot about how politics have become so toxic and it's violent.
My office has reported 773 death threats since I've been in Congress, and that's not all of them. There were many more. And after the president unfortunately called me a traitor, even though I have been his most loyal member of Congress and have such a strong voting record with him, I also have legislation that directly reflects many of his executive orders.
The result of that was a pipe bomb threat on my house, a pipe bomb threat on my construction company, multiple pizza doxing deliveries and a direct death threat, multiple direct death threats on my own son. And this is the type of the nature of toxic politics that I think America is so tired of. But it really shows there's a problem in the Republican Party.
when the leader of the Republican Party, the president of the United States, would actually attack one of his own members that has been so good to him. I very much support America First policies, which the president campaigned on. I would love to see him be successful in those for the American people, but I just can't allow myself to be what I call a battered wife
and be treated this way. It's just too much. It's too high of a bar and I shouldn't have to wait here until I'm possibly murdered like Charlie Kirk or God forbid one of my kids be murdered as well. And by the way, Kevin McCarthy, the former spineless speaker of the house, although
I think it's absolutely the worst political move to have the House in recess and for us to not be here working. Do you believe right now, as we talk about the situation that's taking place here with the shutdown, do you believe that Republicans as a party right now are unified, are Republicans fractured, somewhere in between? What are your thoughts?
I have too much self-respect and dignity.
I love my family way too much and I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president that we all fought for.
Loyalty should be a two-way street, and we should be able to vote our conscience and represent our district's interests because our job title is literally representative.
Standing up for American women who were raped at 14 years old, trafficked and used by rich, powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States.
And I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president that we all fought for.
I have fought harder than almost any other elected Republican to elect Donald Trump and Republicans to power.
I traveled the country for years.
I spent millions of my own money.
I missed precious time with my family that I can never get back.
Meanwhile, most of the establishment Republicans who secretly hate him and who stabbed him in the back and never defended him against anything have all been welcomed in right after the election.
I have too much self-respect and dignity.
I love my family way too much.
And I do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the president that we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.
And in turn, be expected to defend the president against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.
