I believe when someone is breaking the law and harming you, as Brooke Rollins has done a number of times, you don't say, I still support you. You say, shame on you. I'm sorry I voted for you because you're hurting us. Taking away Snap benefits from 600,000 Coloradans mean you're threatening people's next meal, which she did twice. I sued both times. We won both times. As for fighting fires, she tried to firefighters from the Forest Service last year right before fire season. I sued her about that. We won, too. (10:48–11:01)
