I am not the huge fan of Brown that I was back in the 70s and 80s but Brown is still one of the best political leaders in the USA.

I was a strong supporter of Brown for POTUS in several election cycles.

In recent years Brown has taken some positions that I do not support.

However, hell yes Brown is correct in this stance (and Brown would have been a far better and more vibrant POTUS elect than Clinton, Trump or Sanders 2016).

Glad and proud to have Brown as Governor as a native and resident Californian (and life long Democrat).
