Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 4, 2022
President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone. And, frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president. Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election. And the truth is, there is more at stake than our party or political fortunes. Men and women, if we lose faith in the Constitution, we won`t just lose elections. We lose our country.
