country pain home
When I think about the folks who are out there at home tonight watching....They know that this country is not respected around the world anymore.

Given my last position, that I was the first U.S attorney post 9/11 in New Jersey, I understand acutely the pain and sorrow and upset of the family members who lost loved ones that day at the hands of radical Muslim extremists. And their sensitivities and concerns have to be taken into account.

We pay a price when special interests win out over the collective national interest.
boulevard core exists people
I've always said there is a boulevard that exists between compromising your principles and getting everything you want. Now, we should never compromise our principles. And I never have.
