Pressley: “Last week I saw a sign in the crowd that said ‘DOGE stands for Dangerous Oligarchs Grab at Everything.’ And I said it then and I’ll say it again, that Elon Musk needs to keep his grubby hands, his greedy grubby hands off of our government.”
CROWD: “Yes!”
Pressley: “You know, I don’t know about all of you, but I’m having a hard time sleeping at night. My daughter is 16 years old and looking at colleges, and I’m so worried about the world that she’s living in now and the world that she will inherit. And I ask myself, you know, how did we get here? How were working men and women convinced to believe that a failed businessman, who was godless and lawless, could lead them anywhere? Because he lied. Because he’s a liar and a crook. But, you know, he’s been given a lot of oxygen. I want to give you all some. You’re all here when you could have been anywhere else because you give a damn. You give a damn about this country. You give a damn about our democracy. You give a damn about your neighbors. You are the true patriots.”
