I hope that this guy does go into local politics. He's smart, articulate, and thinks on his feet!

it wont change the asshole on the stage, but maybe, just maybe, he will get voted out. That is our ONLY hope.
Thank you for posting this very emotional and moving video.

The "Tuesday group" was furious with him for negotiating with him, yet many still voted for the bill anyway that barely passed the House. Many of those "moderates" will be gone in a couple weeks, hopefully including him. MacArthur is running against Andy Kim for those who would like to know.

including the ones designed specifically to hurt residents of blue states, including caps on property tax deductions that'll kill working couples who were only able to purchase in jobs-rich but expensive blue cities because of very low mortgage rates, and of course the real sucker punches to American taxpayers will only land after the midterms and grow over the next few years, but he's campaigning that people need to be able to keep more of their money.

NJ RNC attack ads for MacArthur insist his opponent Andy Kim is "not one of us."

I saw it when it was new. I thought about this clip the other day and I wondered how to find it again, so thanks for posting it. Everybody in the US needs to see it.

If more people had the head this guy has on his shoulders, and gave a damn about their country and people, moreso...voted..the republicans would crawl in a hole and hide forever.

I wish more elected dems were like that, brutal, bold, 100% honest and never ever hold back or back down. Truly serve the people not yourself, your party, your ambitions, etc. We are at war so we need soliders. Very few are capable of this, Kamala is the one who can be extremely brutal and graphic as a former prosecutor, but not many are like her. Let’s face it the majority of US population is not smart, everything needs to be dumbed down to reach the bottom. This man’s rant is easy to understand for even the most stupid. We need to be able to reach the uneducated like trump does.
