As many of you know, just yesterday, my opponent, and actually I heard again today, this morning, my opponent endorsed Jim Jordan for speaker of the U.S. house. Jim Jordan...actively opposed the bipartisan Honoring our PACT act, which expanded access to critical care for veterans who were exposed to dangerous toxic chemicals like radiation and Agent Orange. Such a person should not be our speaker to have taken such positions. Among his other things, such as supporting the January 6th insurrection, which I think really is a very, very dark mark on our democracy. (03:04–03:24)
