But it really deeply upset my mother, and she doesn’t even need that.

I wish she wouldn’t know watched it and I wish none of our legislators attended. I can’t imagine how much it hurts their hearts. They just got used and it makes me sad for them and for the whole country because that footage will be used against us and didn’t have to happen.

I think we’re under value generally how incredibly valiant courageous and brilliant so many of our legislators are. I’m worried for them. And of course for us.
