He was my rep, and I have seen him at a so-called town hall. I saw how he treated constituents who did not agree with him, even those who acted respectfully.

It will take a lot more than a book an a TV appearance for me to change my mind.

His past appears questionable, but I sense that some degree of redemption has snuck up on him. I would also add that his MAGA relatives are sounding like the definitive basket of deplorables.
