I am so glad our friends have changed their mantra from ``stop the steal'' to ``start to heal.'' But in order to heal, you have to take strong medicine, and that medicine happens to be the truth. My friends, the truth is, unfortunately, this President is no longer fit to serve. We cannot trust this President to protect American democracy after he encouraged his supporters ``fight like hell'' in storming the Capitol.
