I am so sad.
The argument that the elderly and weak may just have to die to enrich the young and strong — painted as some sort of sacrifice, rather than a horrific outcome that we should fight against — is so bleak and hopeless.
Lord, change hearts. Lord, protect the weak.

I am in the wrong here.
AOC gets a lot of undue criticism, and I understand why she was upset by what I said. My tweet comes off as condescending, even if I didn’t mean it that way. And instead of recognizing my mistake when she responded, I was snarky.
I messed up. I’m sorry.

A few things.
1. Obviously, the audio speaks for itself.
2. Every reporter who was in that scrum—people who have interacted with Cruz for years—came away from it knowing it was an abnormal response from him.
3. Our story is accurate.
Some dishonest journalists have attacked me for "taking 18 seconds" to answer -- without acknowledging that I was walking through the Capitol, late to a meeting, and simply ignoring a question that a reporter had called out at me (as senators do every single day in the Capitol).
