Rubén Gallego said "She sold herself out and she has sold her soul. And I just can`t do that. You know, I can`t -- I can`t work with people that are that just craven and soulless. And we use to co-sponsored legislation together and I just won`t do it. And who cares? I don`t care if she gets into leadership next year, if somehow you know the Democrats don`t win again. It`s not worth it. I cannot live with myself. I fought too long for this country and I`m just not going to you know, just sell out just to get on -- get on because that`s what politics demands." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
