    President Trump celebrating the assault of a reporter is wrong. At a time when journalists are still attacked, jailed, and killed around the world, the US should stand up for the freedom of the press, not encourage assault for asking hard questions.

    Republicans in Congress spent the last two years trying to end protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions. If President Trump thinks this dishonest tweet will make us forget that, he couldn't be more wrong.

    All Republicans support people with pre-existing conditions, and if they don’t, they will after I speak to them. I am in total support. Also, Democrats will destroy your Medicare, and I will keep it healthy and well!
