It's extremely offensive. And to hear from one of my colleagues or my competitors in particular, to continue to, I mean, follow their timelines, I would have had to have been elected when I was 13. Just ridiculous. I have the scars to prove that I have not been in bed with either the establishment or the special interests. They've come after me every chance they can. (48:42–48:45)
