Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 31, 2022
I think what we're seeing today, and it has certainly been thrown into very high relief by the horrific attack on Paul Pelosi is not just an aberration, where one or two people or a small group engage in that kind of violent rhetoric and urge people to take action against political figures, like her, like me, like others. We're seeing a whole political party, and those who support it, those who enable it, those who run under its banner engaging in behavior that is so dangerous, and I find frankly disqualifying for people who are running for office. I would like every American just to stop and think about that. This is the kind of violent rhetoric that leads to violent action, that props up authoritarians, and that is unfortunately what we see in the Republican Party today supporting.
