Excited to be part of @mehdirhasan’s #Deconstructed live taping with @MMFlint!

“Trump has no ideology. He only believes in Donald J. Trump.”

We have a president who understands the way in which his words incite particular people to act in ways that are not in line with the values that we have. And he constantly feeds them. He’s the chief in command of white supremacists in this country. #DeconLive

What Trump does and what the GOP is doing is making me into their villain. And we have deranged people in this country who will send their threats with the words that the president and Fox News use to describe me. He is trying to make sure that I no longer exist. #DeconLive

“We’re the majority. We’re the country. We have to do the work now in the next 12 months. ... Believe in yourself and the people with you that we can make this happen. Don’t hope for it. Act on it.”

Minnesota didn’t just welcome refugees. They sent one to Congress. #DeconLive

What I like about Congress is that we have the opportunity to do a lot of things that are bipartisan, that make the lives of American people easier. #DeconLive
