And I don't necessarily paint that with the community, but I know that those views exist, and it was really shameful. But your volunteers and your team had something happen to them too.

Which I'm kind of used to, but I just didn't think that they would go so far as to squirt someone who was clearly not me. Like, you know. (18:35–18:44)
