“I’m glad that he at least waited until the jury was sequestered. But I think that the country is such a tinderbox right now, especially Minneapolis. There’s so much hurt, so much pain.

Everything?’ And I said, ‘Absolutely not.’ We have a thing we found in the Constitution and our founding fathers that defines what free speech is. “And Eric, get this, this Judeo-Christian platform we’re going to have here, they go by biblical principles—you know, you get to the Supreme Court, …

From an interview with TIME Magazine: You didn’t endorse anyone in the 2020 presidential race, and a spokesperson for you said that you “would rather set [yourself] on fire” than get involved in the election.
