I hope we all learn that it’s time to start listening to each other, having civil discourse, and stop ridiculous, irresponsible posts like Governor Newsom put out there.

It was cryptic and it was really menacing.

I don’t think there’s any question that you’ve got to fight fire with fire. You’ve got to fight back here.

I think we will have a leader when we go through what I presume will be a necessary, a good and a productive, robust fight for the nomination in, you know, 2027, 2028.

The answer to debate and speech that you don't like is not violence or taking someone's life. It's more speech, it's more debate, it's more engagement, and that's what we need more of in our communities.
