Key Quotes:
- “That’s the lesson. The lesson is ‘We’ve got to fight. Now’s the time to fight. And people want to see the fight.’ I think this is something that everybody across the Democratic Party is understanding.”
- “The part of that quote that nobody’s talking about isn’t that they’re saying, ‘Oh, you need to say less about it.’ It’s the fact that they’re not saying, ‘You need to stop trying to cut Social Security.’ Because the guy is out there closing offices. The guy’s trying to shut down the phone lines on Social Security, and they’re saying, ‘Oh, stop talking about it.’ They’re not saying, ‘Oh, stop doing it.’”
- “We’ve got to be in every congressional district. We’ve got to be driving this message home because people are fired up. I’m fired up.”
- “What is the story of this administration right now? Trump ran a campaign and came into office saying he was going to focus on the economy and getting prices down. And him and his administration have done nothing, nothing about that. All of their policies, if anything, are crashing the economy while driving prices up.”
- “These folks are trying to do a little show to distract people from what’s going on, and meanwhile they’re out there trying to cut Social Security, the economy is going down, and they’re eliminating education funding for kids with special needs.”
