Published | Video Starts at 20:24

But he's consolidating power where we're trying to win an argument. We will lose our country. He's not screwing around. He doesn't believe in fair and free elections. He doesn't. I know this intimately. The day of that election, Prop 50, he [Donald Trump] sent out the BORTAC teams, those same masked men to Dodger Stadium to intimidate our diverse communities. Sent out a tweet that morning, Truth Social, saying the election was rigged. Sent out Department of Justice poll watchers to then file a lawsuit, which he did to go to the Supreme Court saying the election was rigged. (20:24–20:34)
