EXCERPT:
JONG-FAST: “I’m sorry that it’s inconvenient and that it makes people uncomfortable, but everywhere I go in New York, I keep seeing protests, I keep walking through protests, so obviously people are not happy. And the question is, you know, I understand it makes a lot of these older members very uncomfortable, but it is their job to represent their constituents. And I think — I always ask myself, what would a — what would a Mitch McConnell have done in this situation? Right? Because I don’t think Mitch McConnell would be like, 'You’re right. I don’t want to cause any damage. Let’s just keep going here.' Right? I just feel like that would not be what Mitch McConnell would have done, nor would a Harry Reid/Nancy Pelosi combo. I mean, we are here because we are not having the kind of leadership that reflects the party base. And again, Democrats have this problem. They run from their base, whereas Republicans are hostages to their base."
