It was about being accountable, not just rhetorically, but substantively, to address what Donald Trump is trying to do to this country. He's trying to wreck this country. Tried to do that on January 6, tried to light democracy on fire. He dialed for votes down there, said, where's find me 11, 12,000 votes with the Secretary of State in Georgia. He did the same thing when he said he's, quote, unquote, entitled to five seats when he called Greg Abbott. He's trying to rig the midterm elections in 2026 before one vote is cast. (11:23–11:29)
