I was talking yesterday to a new rep, Don Leonard.
He's saying he was basically intimidated by senior Dems,
telling him if you don't fall in line...
Is that the new guy from Ohio?
Yes.
He's basically saying that senior Dems are telling him
if you don't fall in line with Jeffries,
he's going to make your life hell.
Well, that's crazy.
Has that ever happened to you?
No.
Has that ever happened to anyone
that you've heard of working around here?
Well, I'm somebody that's hard to make life hard for,
so I have not experienced that.
But that's what I'm thinking.
It's like, this guy's basically saying,
it sounds like a mob now, where they're like,
if you don't fall in line...
You should tell Don to come find me.
I got some tips for him, though.
What are your tips?
Tell him right now.
You just gotta tell people you can't be bullied.
Really?
And stand your ground.
This place is like high school, man, like, if people see any weakness.
They'll take advantage of you.
You just gotta be tough.
And you've done that.
Senior Dems have come to you
and you've kind of like
punched the bully back.
No, no one has ever tried
or attempted to approach me
in that kind of way.
Because they know.
They know.
I'm not one to be messed with.
But that's what I'm thinking.
It's like he's basically saying...
What I do think maybe might have happened
is that people give advice
that sometimes seems intimidating.
And so you have to be able
To read through the lines and, you know,
I think it is an intimidating place for new
people to come to.
And there are a lot of cliques here
and a lot of people watch out for their friends.
And so he just has to find...
His clique that's willing to fight for him, and I'm willing to be one.
Okay, well, nice.
At least he has a friend in you.
The thing that just doesn't make sense to me
is here's Jeffrey's people, the people
aligned with him, who really think that they can,
like, make all the Dem caucus fall in
line, but you have all these Dem socialists right now,
you have these different moderates.
It just seems like a really hard thing to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I just, I've not seen anything like that.
I've heard through the grapevines, stuff like that.
And so, you know, again, like I said,
if Don wants to chat, I'm here to help.
Okay, thanks.
