Val Demings: I Consider the Whistleblower on Trump to Be a ‘Patriot’

EXCERPT:

DEMINGS: "Well, let me just say this, Chris, let’s deal with the first whistle-blower. I believe this is a career service employee, a public servant. I consider him or her a patriot, someone who is aware of wrongdoing and has stepped forward at risk, I believe, to themselves. Of course, I support what Senator Grassley said last week that we need to protect the whistleblower. I’m concerned about statements that were made from the president about maybe we should handle this person like we used to in the old days, and the reporting that a second whistleblower has come forward or is about to come forward, I believe again would be someone who sees wrongdoing, hears wrongdoing, and wants to do something about it."
