Congressman Tom Suozzi on Bipartisanship in the Trump Era

You can't, you know, you can't, you know, blow up at everything. So when he gave his inaugural address, He said a lot of things that I would disagree with and some things that I thought were totally inappropriate. But I'm choosing to say, OK, let's focus on the things we can agree upon. I agree that we need to secure the border. I agree that we should deport criminals.

I support you when you say that we should rapidly reduce prices. He said something about, you know, chronic disease and helping young. Yeah, let's do that stuff. So let's, you know, we've got to pick and choose. you know, what we can work on. And then some things, well, of all the 50 things that gets you maybe a little exercised, you have to pick the one or two things that you want to focus on.

So for example, you know, the, the, the pardons. Okay. That's a pretty big deal because he did a blanket pardon for 1600 people. And I focus on one case that really just, when I read about it, just really blows me away. There's a guy named Daniel Rodriguez. On January 6th, they were beating up a Capitol Police officer. He was on the ground. People were yelling and kicking and punching.

And people were saying, kill him, kill him. And Daniel Rodriguez takes a taser and sticks it in the police officer's neck. And the police officer has a heart attack and has traumatic brain injury as a result of this assault. The guy, Daniel Rodriguez, sent a text out to his buddies that were uncovered as part of his prosecution. And he said, you wouldn't believe this, S.H., I just did.

And I got away and I just tased the you know what out of the blue. Now, this guy pleads guilty, gets a 12 year sentence. And he's one of the people who was pardoned. I mean, how can you say, like, I'm pro-law enforcement, I'm pro-cops? You know, in New York, where I'm from, you know, there's a big thing about people assaulting police officers and then getting out, which is upsetting.
