And the President was unhappy because I had said after January 6 that I'd been asked a question on TV and I had said I thought President Trump had contributed to the polarization in the country. But then he said to me, You can't win unless you say that 2020 was stolen. 2020 election was stolen. And I said, Mr. President, I'm not going to be able to say that. And I left, and I was winning probably by eight points or something like that at the time. (32:03–32:07)
