Will not have a fair and free election in 2028 unless we take back the House of Representatives in 2026. This guy's not screwing around. Look, you saw what happened in la. He sent out BORTAC teams the day of the election in Los Angeles on election day on Prop 50 in order to chill free expression. Sent out a tweet that morning on Truth Social saying the election was rigged. Sent out his Department of Justice monitors and then ultimately try to litigate and get to the Supreme Court to say the election was fraudulently decided. (1:12:36–1:12:46)
