Some people think now we have to double down on those things or we must become more progressive or more extreme.

Get over yourselves, and just let the Dems in Maine do what they’re gonna do.

If you call the president or someone like a fascist, you are effectively calling the people who are going to vote for him … then they must be fascist too … or they support fascism and those things. And that is just not true.

I refuse to do those kinds of things because that kind of extreme kinds of rhetoric makes it easier for those kinds of extreme kinds of actions — even like what happened to poor Charlie Kirk.

I happen to know and love a lot of people that voted for the president and they are not fascist, they are not Nazis, they’re not trying to destroy the Constitution and all those things.

I refuse to vote to shut our government down, and that's not going to change.

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.

I think we're at an inflection point as a nation, and I think we can go in a number of different ways. I hope we go the direction of healing, of bringing people together, of trying to find our commonalities, not just focus on our…
