I was telling folks earlier that a couple of weeks ago when they decided that they were going to come for me, they thought that they were going to find someone who was going to cower. They thought they were going to find a community that was going to live in fear. They thought that if you attacked me and you silenced me that my community wouldn't show up and vote. In Minnesota, we have shown people that we can vote and we can vote big.
