Compare that to Maxine Waters, who goes in TV and asks voters to hound republican politicians from the public square whenever they are seen, to let them know that "they're not welcome anywhere".
For a decade, democrats fought dirty, and democrats took it for granted that the republicans would simply take the dirty blow and move on. The GOP finally decided to elect someone who was more than willing to take off the boxing gloves and put on the brass knuckles if it came to that, and they can't handle that we are finally fighting back, and not only that, we are pulverizing them. That may change in November, bought for the last 2 years, the democrats have been absolutely pulverized at every turn, and with each defeat, they get angrier and angrier.
