Will you support a request so that the committee or indeed, I believe the American people should be able to see that video or audio tape, will you support that request?\u201d \u201cWill you apologize to Donald Trump?\u201d Well, I guess the answer \u2014\u201d \u201cWhen will it be that the members of this committee, on a bipartisan basis, demand answers to those questions and refuse to accept \u2014\u201d \u201cClearly, you\u2019re a failed lawyer.\u201d \u201cExcuse me \u2014 refuse to accept personal slander.\u201d \u201cI wish you loved Chicago as much as you hate President Trump. And currently, the National Guard are on the way to Chicago. If you\u2019re not going to protect your citizens, President Trump will.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve been on this committee for more than 20 years. That\u2019s the kind of testimony you expect from this administration. A simple question as to whether or not they had a legal rationale for deploying National Guard troops becomes grounds for a personal attack. I think it\u2019s a legitimate question.
