@SenDuckworth and her reaction regarding @Ocasio2018. As one of the medics who helped save her life in 2004, that is a particularly painful statement for me to make. I never expected anything less from @NancyPelosi in her rebuff of Ocasio-Cortez’s win. They’re democrats. The

theater that got each of them elected has long since faded. They’ve gotten unacceptably comfortable in office, never dreaming they can be replaced. Look, I can admit that money’s great. I wished I had more of it. I’d never be willing to sell my soul to achieve that end.
