It really shouldn't be that way. And. And we now are engaging in conversations again about the safety or lack thereof for elected officials that are in Congress. I mean, I have to pay for my own security, so I have to raise money to keep myself safe, because they will not pay to take care of us, even though the other two branches of government, they pay for their protection. So hopefully we can engage in some real conversations around what it looks like to get us some real safety. But. But also, we need to engage in, like, what really does cross the line. (01:27–01:41)
