Can you imagine anybody ever thinking that it would be acceptable for somebody to say, oh, people in New York and California and Vermont, they didn't vote for me.

We right now have a president who is targeting the Attorney General of New York State, who is targeting a United States senator because they did their jobs. Former head of the FBI. What he is trying to do and what ICE raids and knocking out doors are about is to make all of you afraid. (35:26–35:39)
