Karen Handel: I Think Steve Scalise Called Me ‘The Terminator’ in One of His Texts [Full Speech]

EXCERPT:

HANDEL: "And I think it’s appropriate to take a minute to acknowledge a new friend that I was able to make over the course of this campaign and that was Majority Whip Steve Scalise. Right up until that tragic day on the ball field, Steve would drop me a text message every single week just to make sure I was doing okay and hanging tough. I think he even called me the terminator in one of them. Wasn’t sure about that one, Steve, but 'hasta la vista.' But really and truly, what happened on that ball field was a terrible tragedy. We need to all continue to lift up Steve and the others were injured that day and we need to also lift up this nation so that we can find a more civil way to deal with our disagreements.
(Cheering and applause)
Because in these United States of America, no one, no one should ever feel their life threatened over their political beliefs.
(Cheering and applause)
And I say that, ladies and gentlemen, in regards to both sides of the political aisle."
