This is a problem that is across the Republican Party, they`ve lost all sense of direction. They`re no longer a party of policy and ideas. They`re a party that is just a cult of personality.

The way that you survive these types of situations is by actually having very clear leadership.
Until like many you -- with many of you, luckily a former linebacker standing next to me. We had to contemplate actually defending the floor of the House of Representatives. And at that point, I thought about what it meant. Was I willing…
I think Merrick Garland has been extremely weak. And I think there should be a lot more of the organizers of January 6 that should be arrested by now. The problem that we have right now is that we have a very obstructionist Republican…
I think Merrick Garland has been extremely weak. And I think there should be a lot more of the organizers of January six that should be arrested by now. We have a very obstructionist Republican Party that should be part of, helping us…
Look, like, don’t get on the buses and leave because that’s how a coup happens.
The U.S. should provide Ukraine with better weapons so the Ukrainians can better defend themselves against Russian troops.
They`re not going to do anything. I mean, attacking a member of Congress is akin to war except unless you`re an insurrectionists, but that`s a different story. Look, my statement is very clear and it`s because I support democracy. Ukraine…
Look, my statement is very clear and it`s because I support democracy. Ukraine is a democratic institution. It`s being basically hunted and targeted by an autocrat in Putin and the Russian bear (ph), in general.
I certainly think the organizers of it, and I think Jim Jordan is one of those, are traitors. I do believe that they are just as bad as insurrectionists that were breaking through.
Look, it was a very much fraud. What he is doing is interfering in the procession of Congress in terms of passing on in democracy and using, you know, very fluttery words of James Madison to absolutely have nothing to do with the powers of…
The coup is ongoing. The traitors are still there, and they’re going to continue to try to destroy our constitution.
At the end of the day, you know, democracy is just as important here as any other part of the world.
I`m glad the president understands the threat to democracy happening here. The threat is ongoing.
The coup is ongoing. The traitors are still there, and they`re going to continue to try to destroy our Constitution every opportunity they have.
Jim Jordan is a traitor. He`s a traitor to the Constitution of the United States.
We`re going to connect rural Arizona. You know, we have a not Donald Trump attitude.
If he doesn`t want to act, you know, in a civilized manner, then he shouldn`t be able to serve on committees.
I do. Like, this has gone too far. This is not the first time he has incited violence.
We are very clear, there is no religion -- there is no one religion in this country. It`s been very clear since the Constitution of the United States.
Look, this is probably the most un-American thing I`ve heard in quite a while. You know, Mr. Flynn, and I think people should stop calling him General Flynn. He`s no longer a general.
The only real way to defend ourselves right now is for us to have a very vigorous democracy where we get off the vote and we stop all attempts for them to actually disenfranchise us, because again, the coup is ongoing.
Well, it means that the coup is ongoing. It means that the coup has moved from, you know, the (INAUDIBLE), those losers, those wannabe terrorists that showed up on January 6 into the political realm which actually does happen a lot if you…
In coups, when you leave the Capitol, you’ve lost. And so, I started texting every member I could, and all of our text chains were do not leave.
