And we got a whole lot of that tonight.

But the reality is I brought to the State of the Union Bill Lee, who is the CEO of a rural hospital in Georgia, Evans County Memorial Hospital.

This hospital sits in a district that Donald Trump won by leaps and bounds by 70 percent.

It's a red district.

But that healthcare, their healthcare infrastructure, that hospital is struggling.

They lost their labor and delivery unit a few years ago, and they could well lose their ICU because of Donald Trump's policies.

And I thought it was important for me to be there because I represent all of Georgia.

And I thought if Donald Trump was going to lie about what he's doing for health care, he should have to do it in the faces of my own constituents and people who are seeing millions of Americans lose their health care and costs going up across the board for ordinary people while things are going incredibly well for billionaires and people like him.

Well, I think the American people should ask, why doesn't he want to disclose all of the files?

What does he have to hide?

Donald Trump is a plague on the American conscience.

He is a desperate and divisive demagogue who's trying to distract us because he doesn't know how to lead us.

And so what we witnessed tonight

is really deeper than partisan politics.

You know, I'm not naive about what happens in politics.

We've all seen the brass knuckle politics.

You know, it's a contact sport, but I can tell you as someone who was sitting in the chamber tonight, he unleashes a kind of poison into our politics that divides neighbor against neighbor.

I wonder time and time again as I listen to him, what are my colleagues thinking as he's saying all of these things in the vicious way in which he attacks?

It's really beyond partisanship.

It is a kind of wickedness being unleashed in the ether.
