00:00Well, I think my presence here should tell you that the fear and intimidation doesn't...
00:05work on me.
00:06That's right.
00:07That's right.
00:08That's right.
00:09That's right.
00:10And, you know, you and I have talked about this.
00:15Many a times, this, the president's rhetoric, the attacks.
00:20From him, since I've gotten into public office, from the right wing, has always...
00:25been really to stop me from being in public service.
00:30To intimidate me, to make me want to quit.
00:35And my only message is it hasn't worked thus far and it's not going to work in the future.
00:40Blame is very interesting, but facts are more important.
00:45And what the facts have shown, since I've gotten into...
00:50elected office, is that every time the president of the United States...
00:55has chosen to use hateful rhetoric...
01:00to talk about me...
01:02and the community that I represent.
01:05my death threats skyrocket.
01:08And last night, the man that attacked...
01:10me...
01:11was specifically upset...
01:14that Trump...
01:15this order to deport Somalis was not yielding enough...
01:20deportations of Somalis...
01:21deportations of Somalis...
01:25so he wanted to come get the person he thought was protecting the Somalis.
01:30Well, we are protected by the Constitution.
01:32That's right.
01:33Sorry to tell you the truth.
01:34Sorry to tell you the truth.
01:35We are protected by the Constitution.
01:38We are protected by the Constitution.
