Political Response to Radical Accusations

Radical, dangerous. How do you respond?

We always knew they were gonna go here.

I mean, notice how they chose to use the-- my full name in echoes to

exactly what they did against President Obama.

At the end of the day, it's not radical to believe

that people should be able to

afford their groceries. It's not radical to believe

that you should have healthcare

in this country. It, it's not radical to believe

that you don't think the president

should be able to not-- deny elections or make two point two billion dollars off

of his role in office. It's not radical to believe, uh,

that all of

us should be able to breathe clean air and drink clean water.

Those are the things that I've been fighting for.

I believe in an America where all of us can come together to build together a

government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Now, they're going to try and paint me as a certain thing,

given my name, uh, but

I also think it's important for us to recognize that America has a long history,

uh, of embracing. America is a lot bigger, uh, than very small

people like Donald Trump or J.D. Vance or Mike Rogers, uh, want to make it out to

be. And so, uh, I'm grateful for all that America has given me, and I'm

grateful for the opportunity now to put myself, uh, out there and ask my, uh,

fellow Michiganders for their stake in our democracy to be able to build an America

that's more just, that's more equitable, that's more sustainable, that's more

empowering, that's more American than the vision

that Donald Trump, J.D.

Vance, and, and Mike Rogers have for it.
