The reality is that they didn't want to hear it. They didn't want to hear what happened with Sheridan Gorman or that their policies that they support contributed to her death. That's a fundamental fact.
They can save me their crocodile tears about they didn't like my words or they didn't like the fact that I spoke on policy as part of my introduction.
