| Yeah, thank you so much. | |
| My name is Laura. | |
| I'm actually a conservative and I came here. | |
| No, it's a friendly conversation. | |
| Yeah, yeah, sure. | |
| No problem. | |
| President Eisenhower said the American mind at its best is both liberal and I actually live in Florida. | |
| I'm a journalist and I've been going around covering the various political events. | |
| And one thing that is actually very important to majority of Americans, not just Republicans, is election integrity. | |
| And what I find to be really troubling, even as a conservative voter, is the fact that the DNC threatened the New Hampshire Democrat Party With, I guess, what would you call it? | |
| Sanctions, I suppose, if they allowed for other candidates to participate in the primary, such as yourself and Dean Phillips, running against Joe Biden. | |
| And so, what I wanted to know is, how do you feel about David Plouffe, who is Barack Obama's former campaign manager, obviously he worked with Joe Biden as well, literally telling Democrat voters and Democrat mega donors like Reid Hoffman To not only vote for, but donate to Nikki Haley, who is a warmonger, instead of the Democrat candidates. | |
| I mean, you would think that somebody like David Plouffe, who worked with Obama, who claims to be a progressive, right? | |
| He's always talking about community organizing. | |
| Why are they telling Democrat donors to give their money? | |
| And it's not just Obama, it's Hillary Clinton and her donors too. | |
| Telling Democrats and Democrat voters Vote for Nikki Haley, right? | |
| Give your money to Nikki Haley. | |
| And you have Reid Hoffman, who's the second largest donor to the Democrat Party after George Soros, who literally just gave a quarter of a million dollars to her PAC. So what do you think about that, especially given your anti-war position? | |
| Well, first of all, she is to the right of Donald Trump, and particularly on issues of war. | |
| You're right, that woman is chomping at the bit to get those ships more into that South China Sea. | |
| And so I did not know specifically about a letter from David Plough or Reid Hoffman. | |
| However, when you first started talking, I thought you were going to ask me what do I feel about the fact that Florida has just taken its dictates from the Florida Democratic Party and kicked off anyone but President Biden from the primary ballot there. | |
| And the law in Florida is if there's only one name, they're not going to have one. | |
| So I thought you were going to ask me how do I feel about the fact that the Florida Democrats can't even vote? | |
| Don't you think, Ms. | |
| Williamson, I'm a conservative, but don't you think that that's anti-democracy? | |
| My answer is yes, I do. | |
| And that's why my point is, is that we all, over 70% of Americans, and this was a poll conducted by CNN, published by them, believe that our elections are not legitimate because they feel like there's a uniparty. | |
| And personally, like, I'll just be honest, I am a Trump supporter, but I resonate with a lot of what you say, particularly with regards to the system being rigged, the system being unfair, You know, the need to get out of foreign wars and conflicts, and I believe that his policies support that. | |
| However, I do think that we need to address this idea that it's the parties that are going to decide who our candidates are, because just like they're not allowing for Democrats to vote for who they want to vote for, whether it be in Florida, where, just for the record, I apologize for Ron DeSantis. | |
| I do not support our governor. | |
| I'm really glad he had a raise. | |
| But also, too, you see the same thing happening to President Trump right now with the ballot removal cases. | |
| Do you also feel then, as a Democrat candidate, that if you want to have You know, your voice heard and you want to be on the ballot instead of the DNC deciding that it's just, you know, Joe Biden acting like a dictator. | |
| Don't you also think that it's wrong for the Democrats and the Secretaries of States to be removing Trump from the ballot? | |
| Shouldn't we allow for the people to decide? | |
| Because I personally think that it's wrong. | |
| And I just went to Dean Phillips's event to ask him the same question and he kicked me out. | |
| So I came and I appreciate you answering my question, even though his signs say everyone's invited. | |
| It's a bit hypocritical. | |
| Well, first of all, what has happened, speaking as a Democrat, what has happened on our side in Florida, in Tennessee, in North Carolina, in Wisconsin? | |
| Well, no, it's different here. | |
| Like, I'm on the ballot here. | |
| Yeah, but they told Nikki Haley, like the DNC. Well, I don't know about that pluff letter. | |
| There are issues, but it was not the Democrats who kicked Donald Trump off those ballots. | |
| That was Secretaries of State. | |
| That was judges. | |
| And let's be very clear, many Democrats are very aware, probably a lot of people in this room are very aware, it's not good for us when they kick Donald Trump off those ballots because that makes him more of a martyr in the eyes of many of his supporters. | |
| So I don't think the Democrats are looking at things like, oh, we can get him off the ballot. | |
| We can beat him on the issues. | |
| So if you're asking me if I'm worried about political parties, Making it more difficult for the will of the people to be expressed. | |
| Absolutely, I am. | |
| Do you think you should be allowed on the ballot, though? | |
| Well, I think that, you know, the legal process is going to play itself out. | |
| The question is, well, the 14th Amendment, someone who is engaged in insurrection. | |
| Some people said, well, definitely he's engaged in insurrection. | |
| The judges decided that. | |
| On the other hand, he hasn't been convicted of that. | |
| I know for myself, I prefer to not see him kicked off ballots. | |
| Because we've seen time and time again, everything, something like that happens, it makes certain people just love him that much more. | |
| So no Democrats thinking, oh, if only that could happen. | |
| We're not stupid. | |
| And then lastly, do you think that Nikki Haley then is going to take votes away from you tomorrow? | |
| I don't know. | |
| Tuesday, we're going to... | |
| The Democratic Party is now behind Nikki Haley, it seems. | |
| No, the Democratic Party is not behind them. | |
| Everybody in the room, like they have a purple party. | |
| No, we've all heard, I think, at this point about Democrats who are planning to vote for Nikki. | |
| Don't worry about that. | |
| Yeah, don't worry about that. | |
| But you know, on the other hand, on something like that, who people vote for is their business. | |
| And if I've learned anything from being in the Granite State, as the Granite State is going to vote for who they want to. | |
| And the beauty, actually, of this state is that there's an independent streak here, and I don't think anybody is going to do what anyone, the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, David Clough, or Marianne Williamson, tells them to do. | |
| Nor should they. |
