“it is a tough time to follow, but I must stay the course and be true to myself. The Republican right wing in this country does not like it when we say coup d'etat, so I will make it easier for them, golpe de estado. That is Spanish for overthrowing the government. From day one they wanted to get rid of Bill Clinton. From day one they stood on him and tried to make him out to be the number one villain in this country. They have been blinded by hate then and they are blinded by hate today. This place is full of hate because of what they tried to do to our president. My constituents do not hate Bill Clinton, they love him, and they are praying for him right at this very moment. That side may have the votes today to impeach them, but they do not have the American people. Let me tell the Members something, I grew up in the public housing projects of the South Bronx. I can tell a bunch of bullies when I see them. The bullies get theirs, and these Members are getting get theirs, too. The people are going to rise up from California to New York. They are going to rise up from Texas to Florida, everywhere in this country, and they are going to tell us, do not do this to him. By the way, do not ask him to quit. He will never quit.”
