Adam Schiff: “I would like to believe he said this: America is a great country because America is a good country. If he didn't say it…”

I would like to believe he said this: America is a great country because America is a good country. If he didn't say it, he should have said it, because it is true. This country is what makes me an optimist. There are wonderful, beautiful, patriotic people in every State of the Union, and they will see us through this. But it does, I think, require all of us to be reminded, every now and then, of the better angels of our nature. Now, I remember standing in that well during the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
