He didn't say he respected Ted Kennedy for being in the Senate. He said he respected him because he was a champion for what he thought was right.
I've spend decades doing political outreach, walking districts to gather signatures, registering people to vote, organizing protests, petitioning elected officials, and I ran for public office.
I didn't come from a rich or politically influential family. If I had, I might be in the U.S. Senate too.
For the record, I'm no more of an asshole than you, him, or anyone else on this board.
