19. Yes, she did the right thing

I don't like her and I don't particularly trust her, but when someone does the right thing, I will give them credit.

It is funny that two of the most outrageous members of congress, Boebert and Greene, are the ones who have stood up to Trump, when so many more moderate representatives are still reluctant to do the right thing. It's not that hard guys - like with a temperamental toddler, just say "no".
