Full quote from the livestream a few minutes ago:
"I was challenged by my own constituents to do something different, challenged by my own constituents to do something, challenged by my own constituents to take risks."
Keep calling your Democratic representation, if you have any. Keep pushing them to make the changes we need--like changing our congressional leadership--when they drag their feet, and thank them when they move in the right direction. Believe it or not, many of these people do care what their constituents care enough to repeatedly, consistently contact them about.
Yes, this is ultimately a performative action. But at a time when so many are complying in advance, public officials standing up and setting an example is important.
