Published | Video Starts at 17:39

Tell me, Jason, why didn't you ask the senator about January 6th? Okay, but hold on, let me finish the point I made. You scoffed. Come on. Democrats don't think democracy doesn't matter. Three states, Colorado, Illinois and Maine threw Donald Trump off the ballot. Because why? There's nothing that says defending democracy like saying the voters can't vote for my opponent. Look, that is disgraceful. And that is the position we see of Democrats. (17:39–17:47)
