Latest / Real Patriotism / Trump’s Threat to Cancel Elections
Transcript
- 0:00The president has launched a war, a word
- 0:02that he used against Iran and there is
- 0:05this concern that he might declare an
- 0:07emergency if not cancel the election,
- 0:11send troops to the ballot box.
- 0:12>> I think that we should understand this
- 0:14is a war of hypocrisy and distraction.
- 0:18And the hypocrisy is that we are
- 0:21attacking a regime for pushing an
- 0:24ideology that we disagree with at a time
- 0:26when the president of the United States
- 0:28is trying to seize elections. But they
- 0:32cannot take our elections from us unless
- 0:34we give that power up. Terry, as long as
- 0:37we speak up, as long as we fight, as
- 0:39long as we organize, as long as we vote,
- 0:41yes, they are going to do horrible
- 0:42things. There will be troops more than
- 0:44likely. They may be ICE agents. They may
- 0:46be National Guard, but they're going to
- 0:48try to scare us. But I come from a long
- 0:50line of people who refuse to be
- 0:52frightened away from our democracy. In
- 0:54the 250th anniversary of our nation's
- 0:56founding, we cannot be afraid to defend
- 0:59the democracy we deserve.
