I'm standing up for the rights for every American, their rights under the Constitution to speak freely. But people also ask me if Gabby's okay. She [Gabby Giffords] went through a horrific experience 14 years ago when she was shot in the head, and it was hard to recover from, and it was political violence. And the President has put me in a situation where I could suffer some political violence, too. So they've asked me if she's okay. And I just want to reassure people she's fine, too. (00:33–00:44)
