Harold Ford Jr. On Being a Politician: ‘Frankly, I Would Love to Go Back...’

EXCERPT:

FORD JR.: “What I hope happens now is what you are saying around the table. It is hypocritical for Republicans who get really partisan about this issue to try to make this about Democrats when almost a third of Republicans did not support the bill to provide aid to Israel. Equally so, it’s hypocritical of Democrats and President Biden to say things about Black Lives Matter, to say things when George Floyd happened, but not to say something and respond when you are walking off after giving a press conference. If we don’t have the courageous politicians — and I am a former politician, a recovering politician, and frankly would love to go back — "

PIRRO: "Oh!"

WATTERS: "Oh! Is that an announcement?"

FORD JR.: "All I'm saying is, I love the business of politics and public service.”
