They are afraid. They know they`re vulnerable and they`re selling essentially democracy down the line because of the fact that they cannot stand up to Donald Trump.
We will defeat him. Because again, you do not get to talk about democracy in the way that he has, you do not get to subvert it the way that he has, and at the same time, decide that you’re just going to keep getting reelected.
This election is so much bigger than Senator Grassley. Again, it's about our democracy. It's about making sure that we have folks who believe in the truth and are going to stand up and defend it.
We saw Senator Mitt Romney stand up when there was misinformation. We saw Liz Cheney do the same.
