   They made themselves very much a part of the environment. They were drawing attention away from what was going on on the floor, so it was a little bit disconcerting, I think, the level of intensity that went with it. There was a mob-like kind of feel out there, and that was disconcerting to me as someone who takes the responsibility for the welfare of our kids.

Fox Friends were shouting threats to us to kills us, to hurt us but theyre also saying, shouting, Say Her Name. Breonna Taylor, you couldnt reason with this mob, but Im actually the author of the Breonna Taylor law to end no-knock raids, so the irony is lost on these idiots that theyre trying to kill the person whos actually trying to get rid of no-knock raids. They were shouting and screaming really these people were unhinged.
